GCS student members of the Bill Koch League (BKL) Ski Club meet after school each week to practice their cross-country ski skills. On Friday, the club visited the Medawisla Trails and Lodge - nestled within the Appalachian Mountain Club's wilderness lodge network in the 100-mile Wilderness. Students in grades 2 through 6 enjoyed a day of cross-country skiing and camaraderie made possible through the collaborative efforts of GCS, NREC (Natural Resource Education Center), and AMC!
Our Middle Schoolers "Skied the View" on Big Moose Mountain last Thursday, got some fresh air, and spent quality time with their friends and teachers! Thank you Big Moose Mountain staff and volunteers for making this experience so AMAZING!!
Thank you to all the amazing fans who came out to support our teams and senior athletes! We had a great turn out and the girls once again pulled out a very exciting victory over a tough Jackman team! The boys started off a bit slow but picked up the intensity and closed the gap with a very good second half, unfortunately they fell short.
Our varsity teams close out their regular season with a game in Guilford on Wednesday 2/7 @5:00 pm. Make the short drive and come to cheer on our teams in their final game. Our girls currently sit in 4th place in the standings and our boys are currently in 9th and would travel for a preliminary game if things remained the same.
Tournament seedings and schedule will be updated when we receive the information.
Congratulations to Alayna McMahon on her 3rd place finish yesterday in Hermon! Alayna had the fastest run time overall out of 2 runs for each skier and her two run total put her in 3rd out of 25 racers.
Dustin Freethy-Poiss had the 4th fastest run time during his second run, unfortunately a missed gate during his first run cost him a shot at placing.
Great job to both skiers! Good luck today!
Another great win last night for our varsity girls basketball team against Guilford! They continue to climb the standings as we head towards tournament time! The boys played a very tough and competitive first half but ultimately fell short to a sharp shooting Guilford team. Great effort boys and keep working hard the improvement is showing every game!

Laker fans the middle school girls championship game is available to stream on NFHS.
Absolutely thrilled with our fantastic Fab 5 Spellers! This tight-knit group of 6th graders has been a source of support for one another throughout the preparation for our school bee. Their camaraderie doesn't end there; they continue to uplift each other with friendship beyond the competition and are all looking forward to making the trek down to Bowdoin College in March for the Scripps State Spelling Bee!!
Thank you, Mr. Shaw, the Big Moose Mountain staff, and all the GCS staff and parent volunteers who helped make our first middle school trip to the mountain in 2024 a SMILING SUCCESS. Over 60 students learned and perfected their downhill skiing and snowboarding skills! We are ALL looking forward to the next trips!!
Good luck today Lakers! Play hard and have fun as you try to bring a championship home!
Congratulations to every participant in our 6th Grade Spelling Bee! Your dedication and courage have made us all proud. Special kudos to Maggie Shaw, our School Champion, who will be representing us at the Scripps Maine State Spelling Bee on March 23 at Bowdoin College. A big thank you to our Official Judges, Mr. Lizotte and Mr. Beverly, our Pronouncer, Mrs. Watt, and our Scripps Spelling Bee Club Advisor, Ms. Wentworth! Special gratitude to Mr. Turner for setting up the sound system. Well done, everyone!
Congratulations to our middle school girls basketball team on their victory over PCMS last night to secure a spot on the championship game on Saturday 1/20. Our girls will now take on Stearns in Howland at 11:00 on Saturday 1/20. We would love to pack the gym to support our Lakers!
In order to accommodate players, coaches and fans for this game we have moved our start times for the home varsity games that day to 2:30 and 4:00. The boys will also now play first. This was the best we could do given all schools and officials tight schedules in the last weeks of the season.
