Hey JMS- we are looking to gauge interest for starting up at GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) at JMS. If you are interested in being a part of a GSA group at Johnson, or just want to learn more, please let one of our counselors know, either via email or in person.

What is a GSA?
Gay-Straight Alliances or Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSAs) are confidential, student-run clubs or groups in schools that serve as a safe space for all students, regardless of their orientation or gender identity/expression. GSAs provide a place for students for students to meet, support, and listen to each other about their experiences, talk about issues related to orientation and gender identity/expression, and work to end homophobia and transphobia in their school.
