The Gwinnett Asian American Student Association (GAASA) is a county-wide, high school, cultural organization that just held its biggest event of the 2023-2024 year, the GAASA Banquet.
This four hour event brought together students, volunteers and community members from across Gwinnett County to celebrate a successful school year together. Complete with a full course dinner, raffles worth hundreds of dollars, student awards and recognitions and a diverse lineup of student performances, the evening was a big success.
The GAASA Banquet is a cultural exchange of food and performances from students of Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, and South Asian descent.
The banquet was also an opportunity to recognize and honor the 11 high schoolers that served as this year’s Executive Board.
19 GCPS high schoolers in total served as this year’s Board. The group has planned and directed GAASA events throughout the past year, including the banquet.
Despite being 100% student-organized, the 2024 GAASA Banquet proved to be the most successful GAASA event yet, with well over 250 attendees and over $8,000 raised to support GAASA as they continue to expand for many years to come.
