GGHS Awarded Silver Medal

articlesFor the third year in the row, Garden Grove High School has been awarded a Silver Medal by US News and World Report!  There are over 21,000 schools that are evaluated  based on how their students are served on campus and how much the students challenge themselves. "The primary reason we received the award for the third time is the number of students we have taking AP classes." explains Dr. Cross, "Our students don't avoid hard classes...they embrace them and get the job done."  In fact, just last year, over 1,000 AP exams were given to students here at school. This award has made possible with the support of great teachers and awesome students! 

Aside from winning the Silver Medal, we were able to move up in the rankings by 300 points! Gold medals are given to the top 100 schools, silver medals are given to the next 461 schools, and the rest of the schools are given bronze medals.  Receiving a Silver medal means we are in the top 2% of best high schools in the nation!  It is a real pleasure to know that we were able to make the list of best high schools and Dr. Cross is glad to say, "...the 3-peat Silver Medal acknowledges that academically, Argos really rock!!!"
