A Note From Headmaster Hello,As we approach the end of the school year, I wanted to share with our entire community about a special event and new tradition at Glendale Prep for 9th-12th grade students. After we return in the Fall, our entire high school, roughly 300 students and 25 teachers will make a trip to Williams, Arizona, to spend three days and two nights at the Lost Canyon campsite. It will be a special time to be together and create memories we will cherish throughout the rest of the school year. My vision for GP is that we are a place where students are known and loved; I believe this annual retreat will help begin to form lasting friendships for years to come. We need a work crew to be in charge of meal prep, service, and cleanup, so alumni and parents are welcome to reach out to me directly by email to share interest in joining the work crew, free of charge. For parents of rising 9th-12th grade students, please remember to sign up for the retreat by visiting our payment portal or clicking on the link. 21-22 HS Retreat. Have a great weekend, Mr. Navarrette Senior Thesis Upcoming panels:
