GHS Families,
We have arrived to the final week of the third grading period and spring break. It is hard to believe that when we return from break it will be April and the end of the school year will be fast approaching.
Senior families please encourage your child to complete the form below. We need help in collecting this information so we can best reward students for their Graduation Seals.

Student Parking Update
Please know that we are sold out of assigned student parking spots. Students who do not have a pass have two options for parking. Students may use the baseball lot but must remain off the gravel. Additional parking is located between the softball fields and tennis courts.

Jersey Day: Honoring Tristan Tolloty
Last year on March 18, 2023, our community experienced the loss of Tristan Tolloty. Tristan was a kind, caring, and resilient person who loved his friends, comedy, travel, and sports (especially Cleveland sports teams). This year on March 18, we invite all students to wear a jersey or their favorite sports gear in remembrance of Tristan’s life and legacy. Know that grieving is a process and that it can look different for each person. Let’s be empathetic to each other and take care of each other as we honor Tristan in this way.

State Testing will begin in April. Below you will see the dates of each test. Just like previous years we will be operating on a Two Hour Delay schedule each testing day.
