Announcing the 2013 GHS Graduation Porch!
Senior parents, if you would like to see your student graduate without the heat, the crowds, the parking hassles and early morning scramble for seats, there is great opportunity for you! The GHS Graduation Porch is a large balcony seating area for 15 people on the second floor of the Science Building, which is being auctioned off for use at Graduation via silent auction. All proceeds will benefit the GHS Educational Foundation, meaning they are returned directly to the school through mini-grants and programs. The GHS Graduation Porch Package also includes a continental breakfast for each person, two reserved parking places, padded seats and a beautiful view from which to watch the ceremonies and cheer your grad. The auction opens May 1 and ends June 10.College Night

Due to our school wide efforts and the hard work completed in our CST tested courses, we had an API increase of 19 points! This is a huge gain and puts our 2012 API at 787. I know that if we continue with our efforts, we will hit the mark of an 800 API after our testing this Spring. Congratulations to all the teachers that work tirelessly with our API subgroups(such as EL, Special Education, Socioeconomically Disadvantaged) as they all met their growth target number. Only three other schools in the district were able to accomplish that task.
