2025 Academy of Scholars

2025 Academy of Scholars ceremony 2025 Academy of Scholars event

GSF is proud to sponsor the annual Green High School Academy of Scholars, recognizing students who achieved a 3.5 GPA in the previous school year. Students received 1st, 2nd, or 3rd-year medals. First-year recipients received a varsity G academic letter.

Traditionally, a GHS alumnus returns to their alma mater as a guest speaker. This year, in honor of the students and his school, Dr. Joe Fortunato, GHS Class of '85, spoke to the students and guests in attendance.

Dr. Fortunato is a professor at The Sidney Poitier New American Film School at Arizona State University. Highlights of his presentation included the need to pay attention to details and prepare to "re-invent" yourself several times. Dream big, and succeed!
