Georgiana Bruce Kirby Preparatory School is a small, independent middle and high school, located in Harvey West, Santa Cruz, California, USA and named after pioneer Georgiana Bruce Kirby. It has over 230 students in the 2006-2007 academic year and is headed by Josh Karter. It is also known as GBK or Kirby. They have an ultimate frisbee team known as the ‘Sea Cucumbers’. The ‘Sea Cucumbers’ took second place in the Northern California High School State Ultimate Frisbee Championships.

In August 2006, the school administration decided to move to the former Tarantella, Inc. building located at the base of the Natural Park: Pogonip. Although initially criticised by the students and faculty, the building is larger and newer. At the beginning of May, the school successfully completed the move to the new building.

“Named for a Santa Cruz pioneer who devoted her life to the education, freedom and enfranchisement of all, Georgiana Bruce Kirby Preparatory School is an independent, coeducational secondary school serving the Santa Cruz community. Our mission is to offer a college-preparatory education of the highest quality with a solid traditional academic curriculum. We foster a community based upon mutual respect where students can develop their academic, artistic, and leadership abilities. We create a safe environment of tolerance and respect for the individual, nurtured in a context of cultural and economic diversity.” - Georgiana Bruce Kirby Webpage
