A generous gift from a family foundation in 2015 enabled GEF to help establish a new program of study in computer science at Gloucester High School.  The funding provided startup support for a dedicated teacher, a new computer lab, and the development of a new curriculum that covers the basics of information technology, coding, and several computer languages,

The program also includes a course in Advanced Placement Computer Science, which is comparable to a freshman-level program and provides students planning to pursue higher education with a head-start on college courses.
