We are proud to recognize our Gold Tie Award recipients each grading period! The Gold Tie Award honors students who exemplify outstanding behavior, strong academic performance, and excellent attendance. This special recognition celebrates young men who consistently demonstrate dedication, responsibility, and leadership in all aspects of school life.
At the end of each grading period, each grade level will recognize:
-
Up to 6 students with the prestigious Gold Tie Award
-
Up to 2 students with the distinguished My Brother’s Keeper Award
Recipients are nominated by their grade-level teacher committees and carefully selected based on how well they embody our School Motto and Creed.
Leadership & Recognition:
Gold Tie recipients serve as leaders within our House System, setting a positive example for their peers through behavior, academic dedication, and attendance. As House leaders, they help foster teamwork, encourage accountability, and support the success of their fellow brothers. Their commitment to living out our School Motto and Creed makes them role models across the entire Gus Garcia YMLA community, both in and out of the classroom.
