I personally apologize for the confusion provided this morning. I was told that GHS was not reporting due to lack of electric and issues with equipment. As soon as I posted that communication, I was told the decision was changed.
I again apologize for this. Let’s have a great day.
Update - Thank you to our head custodian, Mr. Todd, our Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Laugh and our head of maintenance, Mr. Potts, for the “early” work they had to do on this.  They started at 6:00 am when when the problem was found. The bus garage needed a decision by 6:20. So at 6:20 they made the decision. Fortunately, just a couple minutes after the decision was made, the problem was found with the school and the electric company. Therefore, they were able to quickly change the decision so we did not lose a day with our students. Again I apologize. It was unfortunate timing. Thankful for the hard work the people in our county put in every day. It takes a team for sure. Luckily this was a minor situation and we can get on with the day as planned. 
Our seniors organized a new event this year-Senior Sunrise. May your year be filled with the promise each new day holds.
Hello Bearcats!
I am excited to welcome you all back tomorrow. I want to remind you that we are returning to our traditional bell schedule. Therefore everyone should be in the building by 7:45. We will report to AA tomorrow. Signs are posted if you need to know your AA. School starts at 7:55.
Seniors remember to bring shot records. Everyone remember to bring $5.00 locker rental fee. (This money is used for school activities and rewards.)
Share this with your friends.
It’s going to be a great year!
See you in the morning.
Mrs. Shumaker

Welcome to the Class of 2025. Great attendance at orientation. Looking forward to an excellent year.
Thank you to everyone who made our first annual block party a success. We had a great turn out and a lot of fun. Special thanks to the faculty and staff who participated, local businesses who set up and the National Guard for bringing the climbing wall. Big shout out to all the students and families who attended. (That is Mrs. Shumaker on the climbing wall. We will not discuss how far she may or may not have made it. 😬😂)

The Magic of New Beginnings...
Reminder - Tomorrow is New Student Orientation and Back to School Block Party.
New student orientation will begin at 5:00. The location was moved to the Scotty Hamilton Gymnasium. You can enter through the main entrance on Yates Avenue or through the gym doors on Yates Avenue.
There will be an information session, tour, schedule distribution and time for questions.
Beginning at 6:30, we will have our first annual Block Party to kick off the school year. The weather looks great. Bring a chair and come out and join us on Sam Bord Drive. We will have student recognitions, introduce fall teams, Entertainers and the band will play. There will be some food vendors set up so bring some cash and plan to have dinner while you are there.
We will also have a table set up for senior citizens to get their sport and fine art passes.
