The Gloucester High School community is committed to helping students develop reading skills and an active interest in learning in order to prepare for productive citizenship in an increasingly competitive workforce. Research shows that free-choice, independent reading programs that are a part of the school expectations contribute to better student performance on standardized tests and greater success in post-secondary education and careers. This free-choice, independent summer reading program for summer 2011 is an integral part of the GHS instructional strategy.
