Welcome to the
Greenfield Union School District G.A.T.E Program
VISION
This program will empower students to become self-directed leaders with critical and creative thinking skills. The program focus is the development of communication and collaboration skills, creative problem solving strategies, individual talents and a love of learning.
PURPOSE
