Portrait of a GCS Graduate: Wisdom for the New Year

January is a time of renewal. It is a time to start fresh, dream big and for students to finish the remainder of the year strong.  

At Guilford County Schools (GCS), January marks a renewed commitment to preparing students to tackle the challenges of an ever-changing world, and GCS students are evidence of that commitment. They graduate as responsible citizens and step confidently into the future as leaders, innovators and community members equipped with all the tools they need to succeed.  

Throughout 2025, GCS will illustrate the vibrancy, complexity and exceptional abilities of GCS graduates. Students and alumni will share their Guilford Experience to inspire the next generation of learners to dream boldly and achieve greatly while reminding parents, teachers, and staff of the critical role they play in shaping these outcomes.
