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:
“We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours?”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?””
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
