HAPPY PRIDE!!! GSA will be hosting the post-finals Pride Festival on Thursday, June 18, outside on the back lawn! Stop by to relax, hang out, and join the many activities we have planned, face painting and the varieties of food we will be offering, including lemonade, baked goods and more!

We will also be tie-dying t-shirts to celebrate! Shirts will be available to purchase on-site and we will be selling some of our other GSA merch, including t-shirts and tote bags!

All English courses with the exception of electives (AP Language and Composition, Creative Writing, and Humanities) carry a summer reading requirement. Students should check the information by grade level on the Summer Reading 2026 Lib Guide for required reading titles and information about access to the eBooks.

A limited number of print copies of the summer reading and all Junior Research Paper (JRP) books are on display in the Keefe Library. Students are permitted to check out these books for the entire summer. Rising juniors are permitted to take two JRP books.
