Hello Bearcats!
I am excited to welcome you all back tomorrow. I want to remind you that we are returning to our traditional bell schedule. Therefore everyone should be in the building by 7:45. We will report to AA tomorrow. Signs are posted if you need to know your AA. School starts at 7:55.
Seniors remember to bring shot records. Everyone remember to bring $5.00 locker rental fee. (This money is used for school activities and rewards.)
Share this with your friends.
It’s going to be a great year!
See you in the morning.
Mrs. Shumaker

Welcome to the Class of 2025. Great attendance at orientation. Looking forward to an excellent year.



Thank you to everyone who made our first annual block party a success. We had a great turn out and a lot of fun. Special thanks to the faculty and staff who participated, local businesses who set up and the National Guard for bringing the climbing wall. Big shout out to all the students and families who attended. (That is Mrs. Shumaker on the climbing wall. We will not discuss how far she may or may not have made it. 😬😂)





Check out the Bearcat TikTok. Great job Bearcat.

GHS faculty participated in an ice breakers workshop today. There was certainly laughter involved. It was great to hear it. We look forward to a a year filled with laughter and learning.
