I, along with the dedicated faculty and staff, feel immense joy in welcoming our returning students and extending a warm greeting to those who are joining the junior high family for the first time. Each year brings new opportunities for growth and learning, and we are committed to making this year an exceptional one for everyone involved.

At GJH, we passionately believe that education is a journey that goes beyond textbooks and exams. Our focus is on nurturing well-rounded individuals, who not only excel academically but also possess strong values, character, and social skills. We encourage our students to embrace challenges, think critically, and develop a lifelong love for learning.

As we move forward, we want to ensure that GJH remains a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all. We take the well-being of our students seriously and are committed to fostering an atmosphere where each student feels valued and respected. This year, we will continue to offer a diverse range of extracurricular activities and clubs to cater to various interests and talents. We encourage all students to get involved in these activities as they provide a wonderful opportunity to make friends, explore passions, and develop leadership skills.

To parents, we extend our gratitude for your unwavering support and collaboration. We firmly believe that a strong partnership between parents, teachers, and the school community is pivotal to the success of our students. We will regularly communicate with you regarding your child’s progress and encourage you to actively participate in school events and parent-teacher conferences.

In conclusion, I am excited about the possibilities that this academic year holds. Together, let us make it a memorable and transformative experience for our students.
