Grafton High School was invited by U.S. Senator Manchin's office to join a Zoom meeting with the Senator on Wednesday, September 25 focused on applying for our nation's Armed Forces academies.
There were several West Virginia high schools also in this Zoom meeting. Senior Cam Foley had the opportunity to ask a question to the Senator. Approximately 25 students from GHS watched the Zoom meeting.
To apply for one of the academies, students must be nominated by one of West Virginia's Congressional delegation. Applications for nominations are due October 1st.
There were several underclass students interested in the process. If you are interested in attending an Armed Forces academy, see your counselor.
Please consider donating snacks/drinks for our homecoming dance. All donations can be dropped off at the main office from now until October 14th.
The Homecoming Closet will be available in the hallway outside of Room 207 beginning this Friday. If you are in need of a dress or formal wear for the dance, you are encouraged to see what is available. All items are free to GHS students. Please see Mrs. Eskridge if you have any questions.
Ms. Dalton, AP Language instructor and Ms. Sheme, AP US instructor, teamed up today to help students in AP US learn the best strategies to successfully respond to Document-Based Questions, DBQs.
Today the VFW presented the Smart/Maher VFW National Citizenship Education Teacher Award to our very own Mrs. Bartlett. Congratulations, Mrs. Bartlett!
Grafton High School was also awarded with the Smart/Maher VFW National Citizenship Education Teacher Award in recognition for citizenship education. We are very honored to have our school recognized by the VFW.
If you plan to bring a date that does not attend GHS, you are required to turn in a guest request form to Mr. McCarthy by 10/11. Any forms received after that date will not be accepted. Forms are available on TEAMS, in the main office, and outside of the cafeteria.
Forms require an administrator signature from the other student's school if they are currently enrolled in high school, so we encourage you to start this process soon to provide enough time for forms to be signed by the correct people.
This is a reminder that ALL powderpuff forms are due no later than October 1st. Please see Mrs. Eskridge if you have any questions.
Congrats to Mason Gray on being selected for All Big 10 Second team in golf!
