Generations of history and tradition coming full circle! ❤️
During Back-to-School Day, we got to capture the sweetest moment: mom showing her new kindergartener a tile she created back in junior high with Ms. McMullen! To make it even more special, both mom and dad met right here at Gateway years ago.
Seeing our former students return as parents to start the journey with their own little ones is the absolute best part of what we do. Welcome to the Gateway family, little one—you’re following in some wonderful footsteps! 🏫✨
