Congratulations to our Trap Team Seniors: Elliott Blaum, Landon Casper, Bryce Gempler, and John Heller.

Congratulations to GHS Paraprofessional, Mrs. Hahn, for being selected as the Illinois Principals Association Certified Support Personnel Leadership Award for Northwest Illinois! Mrs. Hahn goes above and beyond for GHS. We will miss her so much when she retires at the end of the school year! Thank you for your many years of service and impact at GHS.
Mrs. Heller is the Heart of GHS! Thank you for all you do!
Come see the GHS Drama Club's spring production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)! This is truly a hilarious show and the cast and crew have all put in so much work over the last few months. It is running at just under 2 hours (including intermission) right now, so it is the perfect Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night plan for you! The show starts at 7:30 with the doors opening at 7:00 each night. The tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and students.
Please note that while the production is appropriate for a high school audience, families should be aware that it contains some innuendo and comedic references to Shakespeare’s more mature themes. We encourage parents/families to use their discretion when deciding whether to bring young children, as the humor aligns with a PG-13 rating.
