Gervais High School is a special place with a caring, well-trained staff and a student body that receives praise throughout the valley. Our community is rich in tradition, generous in its support of education and sincere in its concern for students’ educational welfare.

With an enrollment of about 300 students, we are a small school and proud of it. Students thrive under the tutelage of enthusiastic staff members with an average class size of 22. It is easy to be noticed and known in our hallways. The staff of Gervais High School provide a safe, nurturing and enriching environment in which all students have the opportunity to develop physically, emotionally and intellectually. We welcome all languages and cultures into our melting pot.

There are five standards we ask all students to seek: Be Yourself, Find Your Niche, No One Eats Alone, Post Positive, and 1% Improvement Each Day.

First, we encourage each student to “Be Yourself.” Students… you are special, one of a kind, unique. The world will never again see someone with your gifts, your skills, your experiences. Be the best version of yourself you can be and share that with the world.

Second, we encourage each student to “Find Their Niche.” Your niche is a special place that you belong to, it ‘fits’ you. This could be a group of friends or an activity, like a sport or club, that you participate in. What do you enjoy doing? What do you want to do? High school is a great time to have adventures, to try new elective courses, to find where you belong. So go exploring! Take an Art class, take an Ag class, join the Music club after school, try-out for the basketball team. Be yourself and believe in yourself. Try new things. Introduce yourself to new people. Be courageous!
