GHS students- be sure to wear your blue and gold to support your school!
After Prom is an event organized by parents and community members. There have been years we did not have one, but for the last two years we have. We have been looking for volunteers for a few weeks now. It takes a strong core group to organize and several more to chaperone. At this point, we have two volunteers. Prom is about 10 weeks away and time to start organize an after prom is quickly closing. It requires fundraising, seeking donations, organizing activities, food and chaperones. This is a last call to see if anyone is interested. Please contact Mrs. Shumaker if interested.
The GHS Varsity Ball scheduled for tomorrow will still be occurring. Reminder that the dance is $5 for admission. Dance starts at 7 pm and goes until 10 pm.
UPDATED SCHOOL CLOSURE ANNOUNCEMENT: Tomorrow, Friday, Feb 16th, 2024 will now be a County Wide School Closure Day. Students and Staff will not report. Students are not required to complete any instruction or assignments. Taylor County Schools will not be utilizing a NTI Day as previously announced. This change is due to guidelines set forth by the WV Department of Education.
Hello Bearcat Families,
