Photo of the Week

What a success! Earlier this week, GVHS hosted a college and career fair! During the fair, juniors and seniors connected with colleges, universities, technical schools, and representatives from the military. With over 60 groups in attendance, students were able to explore potential pathways after high school!

The Full Picture: Attendance Awareness Month

When students are at school, they are able to discover their interests, find their fit, and challenge themselves daily. Through a comprehensive curriculum that is designed to prepare students for post-secondary success, career exploration that allows students to imagine, plan, and ask questions about their future, and extracurricular offerings that support their social and emotional well-being, being present in school matters.  

The Full Picture is a district attendance awareness initiative that highlights the opportunities that are available to our students when they are present at school.
