GECHS students wash the Driver's Ed car. The primary objective of a driver's education course is to impart safe driving practices and road regulations. However, Mr. Roycroft and Ms. Gaona enhanced the curriculum by incorporating lessons on vehicle maintenance and care, providing students with a more comprehensive understanding of responsible vehicle ownership. #PhoenixPride #DrED

Mrs. Madriaga's class participated in a hands-on lab activity to measure blood pressure. Students explored the importance of blood pressure, how it is measured, and the factors that affect it. They practiced using a sphygmomanometer, gaining insights into cardiovascular health and essential skills for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. A special thanks to Mrs. Nava, our school nurse, for her assistance.
