What makes a good school? Having good academics. Having good teachers, and being able to take fun classes are some factors. But one of the better reasons would be having a good community within the school. We at the Galileo press asked, “What’s the last thing you have done to make Galileo a better community?”
“I sponsored the Multicultural assembly which I hope shows and teaches us all the unique cultural traditions that different communities have and we were able to see that on stage in a grand way, and next semester I’m starting a mediation program.”

“One thing is that hand shake, whether you play football or not, you’re with us and you’re part of the gang. Another thing is just being available when students need help whether that’s opening the weight room or talking with students about their life. I just try to make this school feel like a safe space even though it’s really not, but the administration is trying their hardest.”
Coach Nick, Football coach and Security guard
