GSA
GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) is a safe space to meet friends and discuss how to make RHS a friendlier place for members of the LGBTQ+ community. This is a very casual club with no pressure to discuss your own identity, but any and all identities are welcome.
Meetings are held in the library from 3:00pm to 4:00pm on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month.

GSA Network is a next-generation LGBTQ+ racial and gender justice organization that empowers and trains queer, trans and allied youth leaders to advocate, organize, and mobilize an intersectional movement for safer schools and healthier communities.
Our overall strategy for fighting for educational justice is to work with grassroots, youth-led groups and GSAs, empowering them to educate their schools and communities, advocate for just policies that protect LGBTQ+ youth from harassment and violence, and organize in coalition with other youth groups across identity lines to address broader issues of oppression.
All of our work with students focuses on leadership development and activism that prioritizes building alliances not only across sexual orientation and gender identity lines, but also across race, ethnicity, and class lines, and our resources and trainings are designed to facilitate coalition building.
The focus is to give pride, empower, advocate equality and create safe spaces. Anyone can be involved regardless of whether they self-identify or are straight allies and supporters.
