GCPS is exploring the possibility of hosting an I'm Determined Echo Event at Gloucester High School, in collaboration with Mathews and Lancaster, for high school students with disabilities and their parents/caregivers.
WHAT IS I'M DETERMINED? (https://imdetermined.org/)
I'm Determined is a Virginia Department of Education initiative that helps students with disabilities develop the skills they need to have a stronger voice in their education and future.
Through I'm Determined, students learn to better understand their strengths, needs, preferences, and interests while developing skills in self-advocacy, goal setting, decision-making, problem-solving, choice making, independence, and taking a more active role in their IEP and future planning.
An I'm Determined Echo Event brings the experience and activities of I'm Determined directly to students in their local community. Students would participate in engaging, student-focused sessions while parents and caregivers would have the opportunity to attend separate informational sessions.
We would love your feedback as we explore bringing this opportunity to Gloucester! Please complete the Google Form Survey. Thank you!

The Dukes came out swinging on Day 1, shooting a season-low team score of 321. Fenton Scott led the way with a 75, followed by Aidan Mudrie with a 77, Ethan Greene with an 83, and Mason Schmidt with an 86. Their strong performance placed GHS in the top four and earned the team a spot in Day 2 of competition.
The second day brought tougher conditions, and the Dukes finished the tournament in 4th place overall.
A special congratulations goes to Aidan Mudrie, who finished the regional tournament with a combined score of 158, securing the 3rd and final individual qualifying spot for the Class 4 State Championship!** 🎉
We are proud of the hard work, determination, and sportsmanship shown by our golfers throughout the season. It truly was a season to be proud of!
