Class Structure
Gloucester High School operates on an A-Day B-Day block scheduling structure. The school day begins at 8:15 am EDT and ends at 2:55 pm EDT. Every day there are three classes just over 90 minutes in length and one class 53 minutes in length. The 53-minute class meets every day. The following day will contain three other 90-minute classes and the 53-minute class, totaling in seven classes. There are four lunch blocks, each 25 minutes in length, which take place in third block.
Grading at GHS is done on a full credit basis, where after completing 2 semesters, a full school year class, 1 credit is granted. This is a change from past years where a half credit was awarded after the completion of 1 semester.

Famous quotes containing the words class and/or structure:
“All this class of pleasures inspires me with the same nausea as I feel at the sight of rich plum-cake or sweetmeats; I prefer the driest bread of common life.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
