The Gary Community School Corporation (GCSC) is thrilled to announce its Back-to-School Uniform Voucher Enrollment Fair. The event will take place at West Side Leadership Academy, located at 900 Gerry Street, Gary, Indiana, from July 7 through July 10, 2025. Doors open daily from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. This fair is designed to ease preparations for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, offering families of GCSC-registered students access to essential resources in one convenient location.
Families participating in the event will be able to receive their uniform vouchers from Calumet Township conveniently, eliminating the need to stand in long lines. This initiative ensures families can gear up for the school year quickly and efficiently.
The fair will also feature a broad range of resources, including community partners on hand to jumpstart school preparations. Highlighting the event, GCSC has partnered with NorthShore Health to provide free physical exams and additional health services to families at no cost. These offerings underscore the school corporation’s ongoing commitment to supporting the well-being of its students and families.
"The first day of school will be here before we know it, and we want our families to be prepared with everything they need for a successful school year," said Chelsea Whittington, Chief of Public and Community Relations for GCSC.
