Today, October 15th, is the International Day of Action for Academic Integrity 2025! This is a global event that highlights that integrity isn’t just something we practice in the classroom — it’s a strength we carry into every aspect of our lives. Today, 5 of our senior students will be participating in an international Zoom Panel discussion at 1pm in the library where they discuss what Academic Integrity looks like at Gorham High School, and how we embody our core values in school and every day life. All next week in the library our Senior Advanced English students will be showcasing their Academic Integrity Comic Strips on the display, so please swing down and give those a look. Lets all of us spend today celebrating the power of integrity!

Schola has a meeting after school on Thursday in Ms Dolley's room.
