Grafton High School

A Special Night with Our Spanish Students 🚢✨ Yesterday, the Spanish classes from Grafton High School went to Pittsburgh for a special field trip. We visited Point State Park, PPG Plaza, and rode the Duquesne Incline. Later, we went to the Gateway Clipper for Spanish Night. Our students enjoyed a Hispanic dinner with rice and beans, empanadas, and cornbread. They also enjoyed the music and participated in a trivia competition. We were very proud that Sophia Austin represented our students in the trivia competition. The students also had a beautiful time seeing the city of Pittsburgh from the top of the boat. It was so nice to see them relaxing, spending time with their friends, and making special memories together. We also had the opportunity to celebrate Morgan Ketterman’s birthday, which made the night even more special. 🎉 We are very proud of how well our students represented Grafton High School. Thank you to our chaperones, parents, administration, and everyone who helped make this trip possible. ❤️

Congratulations to the following students for being elected as the 2026-2027 GHS Student Council Class Officers!

We look forward to having you all lead the Student Council this upcoming school year!
