Yearbook Update-
The 2021-2022 GHS yearbook is currently in the process of being printed. Each year the yearbook is delivered in the fall of the next school year. This allows us to include the moments that take place at the end of the school year such as graduation. The yearbook should arrive in early October.
When it arrives, we will make an announcement so the Class of 22 can make arrangements to get their copies.
The first home football game is this Friday.
Gates will open at 6:00.
Taylor County students and senior citizens are requested to enter through the pass gate at the entrance off Sam Bord Drive near the scoreboard end. If you need a new senior citizen pass, you can provide identification at the gate during any home events and receive a new pass.
