Our Mission: The Women’s History Month Committee at GDRHS is dedicated to the ongoing reconsideration of women in history by our students, staff and community.  Through an academic and entertaining series of events during the month of March, we will celebrate the contributions of the powerful women who have come before us, honor the strong women who live among us, and empower the ambitious young women who are emerging as leaders in front of us.  It is our hope that our heightened focus will result in a richer appreciation of the interaction between all people in weaving the fabric of history.
