GC High School November 2026 Newsletter
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 senior committed athletes recognized on Signing Day.
Red Ribbon Week was also a tremendous success—thank you to the PTA Health & Safety Committee, Mrs. Grappone, and SADD for their leadership and creativity.
