What is a 'GBR,' anyway?
Seniors appear with their advisors before a graduation board of review, comprised of teachers, peers and parents, on their last stop before receiving a School One diploma. GBRs meet in the spring to evaluate each senior’s portfolio of academic and creative work, and to hear about his or her personal growth and accomplishments at School One and goals for the future.
Seniors must clearly describe their post-secondary plans, including either enrolling in college, arranging an internship, working in a chosen field or volunteering in a service program. Students without a viable plan must meet with their advisors to reconsider satisfactory steps toward self-sufficiency and reappear before the GBR in order to graduate.
