Tomorrow (Wednesday April 9) we are having our Arkansas Children's Hospital Heart Safe School designation drill from 1-3pm. This designation is for schools who have developed an extensive cardiac emergency response program. This drill will include local law enforcement and emergency responders. Please do not be alarmed at any emergency response activity on campus during this time.

Free sports physical clinic information! It is best to go ahead and have a sports physical complete and on file even if you are unsure at this time if your student will participate in sports next year. Forms will be available later this week. Please turn in as soon as possible.

GHS Beta Club members are gearing up to attend Nationals, so what better way to raise the necessary funds than through a little friendly competition? Gather your loose change and send it to school with your GHS students (7-12 only)! Penny Wars will last through April 10, 2025.
