Bring your school spirit and something to share! There’ll be music, yard games, food, and fun — all completely free!
Let’s kick off Homecoming weekend the right way — surrounded by friends, food, and Bearcat pride! 💜💛
Every year, as part of Homecoming Week, each class decorates a section of the GHS Commons to show off their school spirit — and this year’s displays were incredible! Check them out here.
A huge thank you to our GHS Student Council officers for leading this project each year. Your time, effort, and creativity truly make our school shine. 🌟
Thanks to everyone who helped make GHS look amazing for Homecoming Week — well done by all! 👏
If you received a Credit Recovery application from your counselor, make sure it’s signed and turned in to the Counseling Office by tomorrow — Friday, October 17th. ✅
If you failed a core class and haven’t made it up yet (or aren’t currently retaking it), you’re strongly encouraged to enroll in Credit Recovery.
Don’t wait — this is your chance to get back on track for graduation! 🎓
See your counselor if you haven’t received an application but would like to sign up.
Tomorrow at Spirit Day check-in, you can earn an extra point for your class by bringing a donation for the Bearcats Fight Together Fund!
We’ll have a donation bucket ready — just drop in your contribution, and you’ll score 1 extra Spirit Day point for your class!
Let’s show our Bearcat pride and support a great cause while we’re at it! 💙💛🐾
We are collecting donations to help support these staff members as they navigate difficult times. All funds raised will go directly toward assisting with medical expenses and other related costs to help alleviate them financially as they face these battles.
Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help lighten their burden and remind them that they are surrounded by a community that stands behind them with love and strength. Cash donations will be collected all throughout spirit week at the check in table or can be given to Mrs. Himes. You are also welcome to donate online if you prefer. Please be sure to share this post to get the word out to our community.
Let’s come together as Bearcats to lift up those who have lifted us for so long. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and continued support.
Once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat.

At Grafton High School, we are more than just a school — we are a family. Right now, several members of our staff, whose names we are not included to respect their privacy, are facing serious medical and health challenges. These are individuals who have given so much of their time, care, and energy to our students and community, and now it’s our turn to show them that Bearcats do not fight alone.
