Happy Para Appreciation Day!

Today is Autism Awareness Day!

Thank you to GHS Student Logan Schultz for designing this year's shirts and to C&N Embroidery for the partnership!

Today, GHS students Luna Pham and Andy Issleb attended the Illinois State Board of Education’s 2nd Annual ISBE Student Summit in Springfield. They were able to collaborate with students from across the state to share student input on AI, School Culture, Equity, and College and Career Readiness.

Thank you, Ms. Smith, for all you do!

Today, our GHS and GEMS Student Council helped to bury a 2026 Time Capsule they created in the new GHS building! We are excited to move in this summer and for future Pirates to discover the Capsule years from now.

Last night we held our GHS Scholastic Bowl vs GHS Staff Match! It was a ton of fun and a tight competition! -They may have gone easy on the staff.

Good Luck to the Scholastic Bowl Team as they head to Masonic State this weekend and IHSA Regionals next Monday!
