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:
“Take away from the courts, if it could be taken away, the power to issue injunctions in labor disputes, and it would create a privileged class among the laborers and save the lawless among their number from a most needful remedy available to all men for the protection of their business interests against unlawful invasion.... The secondary boycott is an instrument of tyranny, and ought not to be made legitimate.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
