Today GHS hosted an ACT Bootcamp for students who registered. Students learned strategies to increase their scores on the ACT. For the English section, students focused on the order of the reading passages and techniques to answer each type of question. The students also reviewed grammar rules to conquer commonly found grammar questions. For the math section, students focused on time saving techniques with their graphing calculators while practicing the most common math questions found on the test.


The GHS band had a great performance in the 2024 Christmas Parade. Thank you for representing GHS!
