The GALS Student Pledge is made up of positive affirmations that capture the essence of what makes GALS a unique place to learn and grow.

Students and staff recite the pledge each morning after our school-wide morning workout. Affirmations support students (and staff) in developing and maintaining a positive, healthy, responsible mindset and self-image. But students do more than just recite the pledge as habit. The Pledge is a living document that is integrated into the school community to reinforce positive behaviors and redirect negative ones, via restorative justice practices, and in student self-reflection.
