On April 15, 2011, fifteen 5th-7th grade students, four faculty members  and numerous parents departed for Indianapolis to attend the 4th annual  Math Olympics hosted by Indiana Math and Science Academy. Students  individually completed a grade specific test during a ninety minute  period. After the test, Tyler Meyer represented GSA in “Game 24″, in  which contestants raced to use the given numbers and the basic  operations to come up with the number 24. All GSA students did their  very best. Our school obtained the third place in the junior division and Elizabeth Hunyar left the competition with an Honorable  Mention.
