Ever wonder why teachers do what they do? We got the inside scoop from our resource team on their favorite part of the job!
An impressive display of artistic talent from Mr. Doladaboti's art class!
Since 1991, our GHS students have led the "Christmas Visions" program, bringing holiday cheer directly to less fortunate students across our county. Schools submit wishlists for children in need, and our student body (SGA and beyond!) raises money daily to make those wishes come true.
Right before Christmas break, we have our big shopping day at Walmart and a celebratory pep rally to recognize the classes that raised the most! It’s more than just fundraising; it’s about community and compassion.
