This week, we're proud to feature "The Life Cycle" by Michael C. (25)! His captivating painting explores powerful contrasts that, in his words, "capture the nature of pressing questions in life." Michael's piece invites viewers to reflect and ask questions about their own journeys. Incredible work, Michael! 👏✨ #ArtWorkOfTheWeek #GDRHSArt #StudentTalent

The GDRSD tech team recently replaced outdated Peter Twomey Youth Center equipment, streamlining the technology networking closet and copy room for greater efficiency.
