Heath School offers a GSA for 6th, 7th, and 8th grader who identify as LGBTQ or as an ally. Our GSTA is a student-led group that provides a safe place for students to meet and:
- Support one another and gain greater insights on their personal experiences

Three typical functions of a GSA include providing support, building community, and taking action to create change within the school. Examples of topics that may be discussed include gender roles and stereotypes, issues the LGBTQ students face within the school, and projects aimed at creating a safe, welcoming and accepting school environment for all students.
