Center point
Center Point is a SACS-accredited non-profit organization located across the street from GHS. We offer classes to high school students through released-time education, a system whereby students are released from school for the purpose of independent education.
Our mission is simple: provide a safe and welcoming environment to engage students in critically thinking about religion and faith and the combination of their impact on society.
