              Success Beyond the Classroom
              Govies are known for their accomplishments in AND outside the classroom! This month, we're celebrating some of their successes:
              avid Bullock, GSSM senior
              GSSM senior David Bullock placed first in the Quadrant American Legion Oratorical Scholarship Program. He presented a nine-minute speech on the U.S. Constitution and a three-minute speech on the 22nd Amendment in front of a select group of judges. 
              “The American Legion Oratorical Scholarship competition is a one-of-a-kind program that allowed me to further dwell into my passions toward government and politics,” David said.
