My interest in sustainable construction practices, renewable energy, and water conservation systems drew me to GCA. Soon after becoming an advisor it became clear that GCA is much more than a CTE component: it is, as Mrs. Velarde says, a “family.” The camaraderie, support, and good will amongst staff and students is very rewarding. I am fortunate to be part of something so beneficial to our students.
