November 2025

The holiday season is fast approaching, and as we wrap up the first quarter, there is much to celebrate and even more to look forward to at GCHS.

We extend our congratulations to our Marching Band and all fall athletic teams for an outstanding season, and best of luck as playoffs continue. A special shout-out to our committed athletes recognized on Signing Day.
Red Ribbon Week was also a tremendous success—thank you to the Health & Safety Committee, Mrs. Grappone, and SADD for their leadership and creativity.

Our second High School PTA meeting will be held Monday, November 17th at 7:30 PM via Zoom.
During this meeting, we will hear updates from Mr. Steingruebner, SEPTA, and the PTA, including important information for Senior Parents regarding Skit Night. We will also have a brief presentation on next week’s NOSO (No Social Media November) campaign.

A Zoom link will be sent out soon—we hope you can join us!
