SVC enjoyed an amazing experience at Network 16 Town Hall. Our SVC volunteered and stood up and spoke in front of hundreds of students during the closing. They did an amazing job!

On Monday, February 24th, 17 juniors and seniors attended the Young Chicago Saves Conference at Fosco Park. Professionals from the business industry met with the students to complete resumes, mock interview questions and set goals. Other topics that were discussed included: Banking, Savings & Investing and Journalism.

Gustavo and Gabriela were on the panel and discussed what they learned from the Financial Literacy course that they took at Gage Park.

Our seniors attended a Financial Literacy Workshop that focused on budgeting, interviewing skills and saving money.

Students began their exploration into chemical and physical changes through a series of stations that required them to document the physical properties of various chemicals before and after a reaction may have taken place. The goal was for students to relate what they saw at the macroscopic level to any possible changes occurring at the microscopic (molecular) level and support their answers with observations.

On Wednesday, Oct. 8th the Senior Class attended Daley College for Manufacturing Day. The students were introduced to all the careers that Daley offers. Also, they were given the requirements needed to enroll at Daley College. Afterward, the students visited Dart Inc. to get a hands-on look at careers in manufacturing.

Introducing our first Allied Health cohort! We want our students to know that they can aspire to be whatever they set their hearts out be! Their smiles keep us inspired!

Our students attended the National College Fair this past Saturday! Thank you, Mr. Davis, Counselor Ramirez and City Year for supporting our students!

Freshman students attended the Garfield Conservatory on May 24, 2019, with the Freshman team teachers Mr. Voss, Mr. Dunphy, Ms. D. Ruiz, and Ms. M. Ruiz to explore the various types of plants in the conservatory. Students toured and learned more about the flora of different regions, as well as engaged with their peers. This field trip was an incentive for having 100% of our freshmen at Gage Park High school tested for the PSAT 9th exam. This also served as an opportunity for grade-level unity in Gage Park High School and community building among classmates through the shared experiences at the field trip.

Our SVC leaders presented our improving attendance project at the Mikva Challenge Civic Action Showcase at the Bridgeport Arts Center, and they did an amazing job!
