Many students participated in summer activities this year offered by Taylor County Schools. They traveled to many attractions around the state and made a stop at Kennywood too. Thank you to the GHS teachers who made this happen. There was also an epic water balloon fight that even our head custodian, Mr. Todd, got in on.
Memories made!
Check out these shiny new lockers. Thank you Taylor County Board of Education, central office staff, Mr. Dolan, Mr. Potts and Mrs. Summers for making this happen. Also take a look at that floor. That beautiful shine is brought to you by the GHS custodial staff.
The band has been working hard on a new show this summer. The creativity in the music and choreography is excellent. Catch them Friday night, August 25th, during the opening football game.
Good luck to boys soccer as they open up tomorrow at Keyser with a 12:00 game.
Play hard and have fun!
Shout out to the volleyball team as they complete week 2 of practice. They have participated in two scrimmages this week and completed sone fun team building activities. They open up at home on Thursday, August 24th at 6:00 against Heritage Christian School.
Good luck ladies!
Good luck to the girl's soccer team as they kick off their season Saturday at Nicholas County.

A few reminders...
Freshman and new student orientation is Wednesday, August 23rd from 7 to 8. We will start in the auditorium. Following a brief welcome, schedules will be distributed and tours will occur. There will also be time for Q and A.
Any upperclassmen interested in helping with this event, please be at the office by 6:30.
Following orientation, we will have our annual Back to School Block Party at 8:00 on Sam Bord Drive. If weather is not favorable, we will move to the gym. Join us as we kick off the 23-24 school year. There will be concessions available as well as fan gear for sale. Come out and meet our staff, celebrate classmates' accomplishments over the summer, see performances by our cheer, band and Entertainers and meet our teams.
We are excited to have our Bearcat Family back in the building.
Important Message from Taylor County Schools:
Starting Friday, August 25, 2023, the following procedural change will go into effect: All schools will open to receive student arrival no earlier than 7:15 a.m., as this will be the earliest that students will be allowed to enter any school building. Parents/guardians are asked to plan not to drop off students prior to this time and honor the bus lanes specifically for buses only and parent/guardian student drop off lanes. This change is being made to help minimize traffic congestion at all locations. We appreciate your cooperation. (This change will not affect school/class instructional start times at any location.)
-Dr. John Stallings, Superintendent
