Academic Assistance

Academic Assistance at GHS

Different levels of assistance are provided at GHS to meet the needs of our students. The bottom of the pyramid, or first tier, represents academic assistance available to all students as needed. The second tier of assistance is for those that need additional assistance because regular use of the first tier interventions were not enough. The third tier of assistance is available on a case-by-case basis.
