GHS "Shout Outs"

Graduating Class of 2023

Attention Senior Parents,

In May, your child is scheduled to graduate as a member of the Class of 2023. You can show them how proud you are of their accomplishments by placing a Senior Tribute in the 2022-2023 Blue and White Yearbook. Whether you embarrass them with baby pictures, showcase their talents, or write them a special message, their Senior Tribute will be a lasting reminder of their years in high school, their achievements, and your pride. Please take a moment to review our advertising rates and deadlines. If you would like to purchase a Senior Tribute, return the completed contract along with the material you would like featured on your tribute by Feb. 15. If you have questions, please contact Amy Tolbert at [email protected].
