Goldsboro High School

Posted: June 27, 2023

As a parent, there's nothing more satisfying than watching your child develop and flourish, both personally and acadically, and Goldsboro High School has played a key role in my child's growth journey. Our experience with the school has largely been positive, and I'd like to share some insights for other parents considering Goldsboro High School for their children.

Academically, Goldsboro High School has proven to be an excellent institution. The curriculum is robust and the teachers are dedicated, often going the extra mile to ensure students understand and grasp the concepts. My child felt academically challenged, yet fully supported, which I believe is crucial for intellectual development. The school also boasts a wide range of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which has allowed my child to pursue interests in greater depth while also preparing for college-level coursework.

Beyond academics, Goldsboro has excelled in promoting a well-rounded education. The selection of extracurricular activities is commendable, from sports and arts to clubs focused on social issues, tech, and more. These activities have played a crucial part in fostering teamwork and leadership skills in my child. They've also encouraged interactions between students of diverse backgrounds, fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect.

Additionally, the school administration is responsive and always willing to engage in open dialogue with parents. They’ve been understanding, communicative, and have shown a commitment to continuous improvement, which is highly reassuring.

Nonetheless, like any institution, there's always room for improvement. While the school's facilities are generally well-maintained, upgrades in certain areas, such as the science labs and sports facilities, would be beneficial. Also, while the school does offer counselling services, I feel there's a need for more emphasis on mental health support and awareness.

In conclusion, Goldsboro High School offers a nurturing and dynamic environment conducive to a student's academic and personal development. While there are areas that could benefit from enhancements, the overall experience for us has been positive and rewarding. I believe it is a place where children can thrive, and I'd recommend it to other parents who value a holistic approach to education.

This past week I came back to GHS to visit some of my former teachers and I found that none of the ones I really wanted to see were there any more. I took french for two years and had Mrs. Yancey, she was like a second mother to me. Whenever I didn't want to be at school or something was going on in my life she always pushed me to do my work and to care. I really didn't get in trouble much but I did get to know both Mr. Twitty and Ms. Burden, they always treated me respectfully. Even though I really wasn't in to art I took Mr. Millner's class. He was like everybody's big brother, he always gave good advice and pushed people to look outside of the neighborhood and go after whatever you wanted to do. He helped me to apply to colleges and get scholarships even when my own family refused to help me. I graduated GHS in 2011 and am now a college graduate thanks to my teachers. Good luck wherever you guys are!
