We’re proud to announce that the Good Counsel STEM Program has been named a PLTW 2025-26 National Distinguished School. This award recognizes commitment to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in the national recognized PLTW Engineering program. GC has proudly been awarded this recognition 8 times; very few schools have received this recognition.
The SAGE team at Our Lady of Good Counsel was honored with this award for outstanding performance in our dining program. This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of the entire team in providing a dining experience that is second to none in the Capital Region.
Freshman Food Service Director David Vanderslice, Executive Chef Michael Kahn, and Assistant Food Service Director Zeke Garcia all credited the program’s success to the dedicated cooks, servers, and stewards who make it possible every day. Many members of the team have served the Good Counsel community for more than 15 years, and we are proud to see their commitment and excellence recognized.
Hear it straight from our campers... The friendships, the fun, the laughs, and the memories that make camp unforgettable. From exciting adventures to everyday moments, there’s nothing quite like summer camp at GC.
Watch our campers share why they can’t wait to come back each year! Learn more by visiting https://t.co/yxb7TZm4sg
