About Us

"For the improvement of mankind by affording such assistance and means of educating the young as will help them to become good citizens" --- William L. Gilbert

Welcome to the Gilbert School website! Thank you sincerely for your interest in this excellent school. The Gilbert School has a long and distinguished tradition of providing outstanding educational opportunities to the high school students of Winchester and Hartland. Now well into our second century that tradition of excellence continues unabated.

To those who know us, Gilbert is uniquely wonderful—steeped in tradition, yet providing cutting edge education for students who must confront the world of the 21st Century. As true today as when this school was founded in 1895 as the legacy of William L. Gilbert to the community he loved, the Gilbert School continues to thrive and grow. We continue to nurture and prepare our students for the future they face and we continue to serve as a beacon of excellence for our communities and beyond. The Gilbert School is priceless.

I urge you as you peruse this website to discover for yourself all that is wonderful about this great school.

Respectfully,
David A. Cressy, Ph.D.
Superintendent
