The GPS Parent Council works to connect GPS families to one another and the school, provide support to our amazing faculty, staff, and students, and uphold the mission, vision, and values of GPS.

Parent Council Goals

Supporting Faculty, Staff,
& Students

We organize volunteers, plan events, partner with the school for the annual Impact Fund, and fundraise through programs like The Golden Buckle, Bruiser Eats, and Sweets & Treats.

We provide social and educational events, welcome new families, encourage parent involvement, and advocate for GPS in the greater Chattanooga community.
