STUDENT LIFE

Our highest priority is to create a school where every student feels safe, connected, understood, and supported. Gateway’s positive, engaging environment reshapes attitudes about school, improves outlooks for success, and allows students to become the best version of themselves in their relationships and responsibilities. This transformation is based on our intentional social programming. Our student community grows and thrives through shared social experiences! We know student socials and activities foster emotional growth and encourage our students to explore activities they may not have experienced before.

The House System
Upon entering Gateway, every student joins a House. Each House includes students of different ages and faculty members who provide guidance and encouragement. This close community helps build friendships, develop leadership skills, and a stronger sense of belonging within the school. Through competitions and daily regular house meetings, students are consistently supported and celebrated.

Student Council
Student Council provides a voice for the student body and leadership opportunities for those students willing to serve and contribute to our community. The election process itself is an invaluable learning experience! Student Council hosts our quarterly Pancakes for Parents events and additional social activities amongst the students.

Theater Arts
Theater Arts develops collaborative skills, perseverance, confidence, public speaking skills, and perspective-taking, as students learn to assume a role or character. Our crew develop production management and technical skills, problem solving skills, and encounter real life situations that require flexibility and responsiveness. Gateway proudly features two productions each year: a Fall variety show and a school play in the Spring.  

Basketball Team
Gateway Basketball is competitive and open to High School students. Participation improves physical conditioning, social awareness, and interpersonal skills. Last year, our Gateway Gryphons ended with a 6-1 season! Students learn to coordinate and play as a team, while of course having a blast!

Track
Track is a competitive, Spring season sport at Gateway. Our track team practices during Fit Club in the Spring and competes in track meets each year. All students are invited to participate. In addition to athletic skills, students develop teamwork, set fitness goals, and support one another while learning the “hidden rules” of competitive sportsmanship.
