We are working to create a pennant wall at GHS. We want to create a visual representation of what post-secondary institutions our graduates have attended. Please take a minute to complete this 2 second survey and tell us what college, trade school, apprenticeship or military branch you completed. We will then work to obtain a pennant or sign if it is not already represented. Thank you!

Report Cards will be distributed tomorrow (10/11) to all GHS students
