Educators and Parents

GSE  School-level responsibilities 

Each year, posters are sent  to a number of personnel in each public high school with a request that they be displayed prominently.  For example approximately 12 are sent to the guidance counselor, and two to the principal and other significant school personnel.  If you have suggestions for other contacts within you school, please notify Mrs. Keffer.

More specifically, teachers and counselors are asked to do the following:

1. Post informational flyers throughout the school where they can be seen by ninth-, tenth- and eleventh-graders.
2. Guide career-minded students to apply to the School of Entrepreneurship. Professionals should see themselves as door openers and not gate keepers. Inform all students. Let them decide for themselves whether to apply;
3. The counselor provides a signed  official transcript with the attendance record. Please redact Social Security numbers.
4. There is not a GPA requirement; however, students requesting college credit must meet university standards.
5. The principal or assistant principal writes a recommendation.
6. Mailing the application is the responsibility of the student, not the school.

Parent Information

Attending GSE requires commitment on the part of the student and his/her whole family.  The school lasts three weeks, and there are no leaves granted for vacations, family weddings, etc. There will be time each day, usually in the evening,  for you and your child to talk on the phone or to communicate electronically.
