Today we welcomed the GHS Class of 2030 during our Annual 8th Grade Bump Up Day! 💙💛🥳 We kicked off the day in the auditorium with introductions to our administrators and counselors. Our GNN team created a special “Tour of GHS” video along with a Q&A featuring questions from our TCMS 8th graders. Thank you to GNN and Ms. Dalton for making the videos. We also put their Bearcat knowledge to the test with some fun Grafton trivia! Thank you to everyone who helped make today’s event a success. We are proud of this tradition and excited to officially welcome these students into the Bearcat family. We can’t wait to see all they accomplish at GHS! 🐾

Big thanks to Airgas for their generous $9,000 grant awarded to GHS Welding! 🔥 Thanks for this support, Grafton High School’s welding program was able to upgrade equipment and restock essential supplies for our students. Opportunities like this help us continue providing hands-on training and valuable skills for the future workforce. We truly appreciate Airgas investing in our students and our program. Thank you for your generosity and support of career and technical education!

🌎✨ Hispanic Honor Society Outreach Day ✨🌎 Yesterday, members of the GHS Hispanic Honor Society visited West Taylor Elementary and Flemington Elementary for a special Hispanic Day! 🇪🇸💃🎶 Our students performed traditional dances including cumbia from Colombia, flamenco from Spain, and merengue from the Dominican Republic. They also presented skits such as Spanish Journey and shared the history and culture of Spanish-speaking countries through music, singing, and interactive activities with the elementary students. ❤️ It was wonderful to see our high school students teaching, leading, and inspiring younger students while celebrating the beauty of the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures. Thank you to the staff and students at both schools for welcoming us today. We are very proud of our Hispanic Honor Society members for representing GHS with enthusiasm, leadership, and positivity! 🌟 #GHSPride #HispanicHonorSociety #SpanishDepartment #CulturalAwareness #FutureLanguageLearners
