This year marked a significant milestone for Paul P. Gates School as we moved into our new building. This state-of-the-art facility has provided us with amazing opportunities to foster creativity and collaboration. At Gates we celebrate the unique strengths and differences of each student. We recognize that diversity is a valuable asset, and we embrace the cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives that make up our school community. Through various initiatives, such as multicultural events, guest speakers, and curriculum, we promote understanding, empathy, and acceptance among our students.
