PSAT/SAT

Every October, GCS offers the PSAT free of charge to all GCS students in grades nine through 11 because the district knows how important the PSAT can be to SAT success. Taking the PSAT in the junior year and earning a good score gives students a chance to qualify for National Merit Scholarships and other scholarship programs.
