Under the direction of the administration and staff, who implement state and local guidelines, they have gotten a sense of direction from the many educational opportunities available at Geneva High. A student's day can consist of six long hours of hitting the books. Some may recall the long days and nights of pulling their hair out trying to figure out a math problem, or of struggling to find that one line to start an English composition. Others may remember working on that one project in woodworking they thought they would never finish; then, when it was over and done, feeling the satisfaction of a job well-done. Some students sign up for Child Development so they can experience what parenting is all about and so in later years when they become parents, they will know the basics and be wiser parents. In sophomore year, the tenth graders who feel that trade school or the job world is the answer for them after they have graduated find out about what courses are offered at BOCES in Flint. Then, as junior and seniors, they can pursue the trade that most interests them and be ready for at least an entry-level job once they have received their GHS diplomas. Whatever goals in life they may have, all the students at GHS have something in common — all being able to have a good chance, under the direction of the staff, to see what way they should go after graduation.
