The Experience

Gateway students have the opportunity to develop self-esteem, self-discipline, leadership skills, and strong personal connections with their community all while exploring areas of personal interest.

Student activities at Gateway, which include Student Council, advisory clubs, athletics, and after school programs, are specifically designed to build community within our diverse school community, support students to be responsible leaders, and foster a positive and healthy school culture.

Four core values – Community, Respect, Responsibility, and Excellence – are at the heart of Gateway’s community and represent the cornerstones of the school’s Code of Conduct.  Students examine and discuss the core values daily and it is expected that all students will try to live by these values.
