Mission, Vision and Value Statements

GSSD Logo

​​​​​Our Logo 

The logo depicts two students holding hands, touching toes, and forming a heart between
them. Good Spirit is a family in which learning is achieved in a caring environment.

have a responsibility, both individually and as part of the learning team, to participate and to contribute positively to public schools.
