  • I love this school! My son just started going to HGS this year and to be honest, i was nervous thinking he wouldn't like it at first! Well, he loves it!!! His teacher is awesome, the principal and everybody else as well. He used to go to a public school and i thought he was going to have difficulty adjusting but i was wrong. He made friends the first day, he loves wearing uniform everyday, specially the tie ;) Doesn't get bored at all. Does not complain about hw at all. Loves everything about the school and that makes me extremely happy.

    I applied for Financial Aid and the help was good. I feel very happy investing in my son's future this way. It doesn't really matter how much we pay, is the education our kids get in this school.
