👑 Presenting the 2026 Grafton High School Homecoming Court
We are proud to have these Bearcats representing each of their graduating classes on this year’s Homecoming Court! Each princess was voted on by her classmates and then had the honor of choosing her escort to join her in this year’s Homecoming festivities.
We are so excited to celebrate these students and the school spirit, tradition, and pride they represent at Grafton High School.
A special thank you to all of our escorts for being a part of this year’s Homecoming celebration! We would also like to thank Allison Horne Photography, the GHS Yearbook staff, and Nicki Skinner from the local newspaper for coming to photograph our court.
Congratulations to the 2026 GHS Homecoming Court! 🐾💙💛

Today at GHS we hosted a Club Exploration Day for all students to have the opportunity to see what is available at our school. The goal was to increase involvement and participation for all students at GHS, but also allow the opportunity for students to see the variety of clubs and organizations that we have right here at GHS.
Student members and faculty sponsors set up tables and had information and flyers to present to interested students.
Thank you to all who participated and displayed the wonderful opportunities we have at GHS! 💙💛
