As Y2K approached, so did some more challenging times. Enrollments had been slowly declining the previous two decades. Child labor laws were making it impossible for students to “work their way through” and the commitment that earlier generations of parents had had to Adventist education seemed to be waning. The campus was beginning to look tired and worn.
Idaho Conference constituents found themselves fighting to keep their school strong. And fight they did! God raised up individuals to champion His cause. A builder headed up a team of volunteers to renovate the girls’ dormitory. An alumnus remodeled two bathrooms on his own time and at his own expense. Philanthropic giving tripled between 2000 and 2006.
Today volunteers and philanthropists continue to work hand and hand with faculty and students to keep Gem State’s educational program strong and its campus functional and beautiful.
Many, many things in our world have changed since Gem State was founded in 1918. Nevertheless, Gem State Academy continues its tradition of combining work, study, play and worship. The results speak for themselves:
* Many Gem State students score at college levels by their junior year * Over 90% of Gem State students go on to college * Many Gem State graduates have become positive change agents.
