CONGRATULATIONS to our 2023 District Teacher of the Year - Kristen Ritter, GHS & our District Support Staff of the Year - Rick Court, GHS!
The BH Open House was a huge success! It was so wonderful to see all the families who made it out yesterday. As we look forward to the first day of school on Aug 21, we would love to show our school pride and community support by wearing purple and gold or "Jacket Strong" apparel. This is to honor a recent GPS student who was lost and two others who are healing. We live in an amazing community and we always rally around one another when it matters most!

We look forward to seeing all our families for this awesome event!
