High Schools are talking……………

"The students from Golden Hills School are more likely to participate in our accelerated course offerings, demonstrate strong leadership skills, become active in athletics and clubs, and contribute through community services. We welcome applications from Golden Hills School with enthusiasm, because their students have shown that they are capable of maximizing the extensive academic and extracurricular programs that Christian Brothers has to offer.”

Kenny Kirrene, Director of Admissions,
Christian Brothers High School

"I love to see a new application from Golden Hills School. Not only are the girls always well prepared for high school, they are well-rounded and charming, with good self-discipline. Our staff and our teachers appreciate the quality of your students a great deal.”

Moira O’Brien, Director of Admissions

“The students from Golden Hills School have uniformly been very well prepared for high school. They have all made the transition with ease and have become some of our most successful students, and our favorite ones as well.”

The Haroon G* Wrestling Trophy

In recognition of Golden Hills School's finest wrestler, a role model and inspiration for all, a new trophy was awarded at this year's 2010 Athletic Banquet to Haroon G. Wrestling for GHS from 2000 until his graduation in 2010, Haroon achieved the highest placing of any GHS wrestler to date, placing 3rd at Regionals.

For over a decade, Haroon not only received the respect of every coach in our sports league for his sportsmanship both on and off the mat, and but was recognized as one of the league's most gifted wrestlers.
