Bearcat ESports is kicking off 2023-2024 and looking for new and returning members! A WV League survey is due by end of day, September 5. We are interested in hearing from our Grade 9-12 Bearcats about their participation in Fall and/or Winter Leagues and game title preferences. The potential game titles are posted on the cafeteria doors. Please add your name to the sheets on Tuesday; a reminder will be announced. Fall pre-season will begin the week of September 18 with dates to be determined based on the selection of game titles made by the WV League. Fall season begins the week of October 2. Regular season runs for 6 weeks with 2-3 playoff weeks after the Thanksgiving holiday. Game queues are generally scheduled after school at 4:00. For more information, please see Mrs. Ward or Sra Romine. #hsel #generationesports #wvesports

2023 Academy Days
Dear Community Members, GHS is in need of 2 volunteers for our Local School Improvement Council (LSIC). The main purpose of our LSIC is to represent the voice of education stakeholders, including professional personnel, service personnel, parents, community members and students. We have two open positions. If you are a community member who is not a parent of a student at GHS and are interested in getting involved, we need your help. We meet a minimum of once per quarter. Please contact Mrs. Shumaker if you are interested.

The FBI CJIS Division will be hosting the 2023 FBI Teen Academy at the Clarksburg, WV, campus on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Teen Academy is a one-day hands-on program for current West Virginia High School Juniors and Seniors (2023-2024 school year). Teen Academy is a chance for youth to learn about the FBI and what a variety of career paths in the FBI would entail. Selected students are offered insight into a number of topics and specialties, including the importance of making good choices when using online communication platforms, federal law violations the FBI investigates, requirements of all FBI applicants, and the FBI’s domestic and international roles. Students will also enjoy various hands-on experiences involving specialized areas of the FBI, such as our Evidence Response Team. After completing the class, students are more aware of challenges their communities face, better understand how the FBI serves their region, and are prepared to mentor their peers. Please see Mrs. Himes in the counseling office for an application or email at taylor.himes@k12.wv.us to get an application – the deadline for completed applications is September 15. Applicants will be notified of their application status via email by October 2. Please feel free to contact Megan Root with further questions via email at mrroot@fbi.gov. We look forward to working with you!
