The world has certainly changed in the past 100 years. With roots that began in 1921 with Dyke's Automobile and Gasoline Engine Encyclopedia, G-W first expanded its publishing into the trades. As inventions, innovations, and technologies were introduced over the years, these advancements impacted education and the direction of G-W. Our path into Family and Consumer Sciences started in the 1980s and broadened to other developing fields such as IT, Health Sciences, and Health Education. New courses, new pathways, and new careers demand new learning resources that reflect our ever-changing times. As the world evolves, so does G-W.

One thing that we have learned over the past 100 years is that education changes lives—and that’s something to celebrate!

CTE increases graduation rates, helps students find their passion, and builds careers. Health Education transforms students by helping them develop healthy behaviors and effective coping strategies that last a lifetime.

We want to hear from you, so that we can celebrate with you! Do you have a story to share—a success story, a life-changing story, or even a funny CTE or Health story? We’d love to hear it!
