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:
“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows—it must grow; nothing can prevent it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
