In our process of relocation, I used this site to research schools. God truly blessed us with our decision to attend HGCS! The last four years have been truly amazing for our daughter! The student body is diverse; the education, extracurriculars, and school campus are top-notched! During the pandemic, the communication from the administration was outstanding! KUDOS to the technology team - students seamlessly handled in-person to virtual instruction. The staff is professional and truly cares about uplifting Christian character. HGCS - Thank you for all that you do!!

HGCS is a loving Christian environment, where the teachers and coaches truly and wholeheartedly care. Jesus Christ, spreading the Gospel, Bible and prayer are top priorities. This environment has produced students who are friendly, kind, caring and respectful to the teachers as well as each other. We are blessed and so grateful the Lord has led us to this wonderful place and how our son is thriving here!
