Today, Tammy Beer, representing the Germantown Fire Department Auxiliary Flames, presented Superintendent Becker with a $500 check to be put towards purchasing school supplies for students. We are grateful for their support and partnership in ensuring that all students have access to the resources they need to succeed in school.

Now is an exciting time to join our Bulldog family as we are growing. We recently completed Phase I of a construction project, the addition of 2 early childhood classrooms. Phase II will follow at some point in the near future and includes the construction of a new gym. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a front row seat for all the excitement to come. If you desire to work in an Exemplary district with a family atmosphere that embraces creativity and a team approach, this is the job for you. Need more to peak your interest? There is more. Our faculty/staff is given the freedom to dress casually every day of the school year. We work hard, have fun, and dress comfortably at GES.
In addition, we have recently adopted a policy granting the children of full-time school district employees the opportunity to attend GES tuition-free. This new policy serves as an added incentive for candidates who value the prospect of sharing their child(ren)'s educational journey within the same school community.
Interested candidates are asked to send a cover letter, resume, and letters of recommendation to Robin Becker at rbecker@ges60.org or 401 Walnut Street, PO Box 400, Germantown, IL, 62245. Interviews will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
