We’re excited to share that the Guided Pathway Support (GPS) Program for high school juniors and seniors is launching a brand-new online community platform — moving away from Meta Workplace and onto Circle.so!
This new platform will change how our high school Navigators connect, learn, and thrive.
Why Circle?
We listened to your feedback. You told us you wanted a community that was easier to navigate, more mobile-friendly, and better for learning. Circle.so delivers on all of that — and more.
Here’s what’s coming:
What’s New & What You’ll Love:
✅ Easier to Use
Find resources on college admissions, scholarships, and careers with a clean, intuitive design.
✅ Seamless Live Events
No more searching for Zoom links! All GPS live events — like College 101 and Scholar chats — will now happen right in the community, with high-quality video and audio.
✅ Direct Messaging
Chat privately or in groups, all within the app.
✅ Gamification & Leaderboards
Earn points for participating, completing courses, and helping your peers. Watch your name climb the leaderboard!
✅ Event Calendar
Never miss an event — everything is in one place.
✅ Courses
We’re launching with 10 new GPS courses, including How to Start a Club and How to Get Fee Waivers — built to help you lead and succeed.
✅ Trending Feed
See what’s hot and helpful in the community right from your homepage.
✅ Easy Media Sharing
Embed videos, photos, and links directly in your posts.
✅ Mobile App
Take GPS on the go! Download the Circle app on iOS or Android and stay connected wherever you are.
What’s Next?
Keep an eye out for your official invitation to join the new GPS Community on Circle. We’ll send simple instructions to current GPS students and caregivers to help you get started.
We’re so excited about this big step forward — and can’t wait to build something amazing together.
