FINANCIAL AID NIGHT October 25th in the GHS Library from 6-7pm
Please join us at this important event for parents of GHS seniors. We will be discussing financial aid and how the process works. Whether your student plans to attend a community college, university, trade school or is just not sure yet - she or he should apply. You can use financial aid at any number of accredited institutions. We will have Spanish and Arabic translation available at this event. We hope to see you there!
HEALTH AND BEAUTY DRIVE for survivors of domestic violence
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The GHS Girls Rock Club is collecting donations of health and beauty products for the women escaping domestic violence at Rachel's House shelter for women and children. Please place your donation of a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, feminine hygiene products, or other small necessities in one of the bags located in classrooms and offices on campus. We will collect the items on Nov. 1st and the classroom with the most donations will earn a donut party!

Offered every Tuesday during 6th & 7th periods, throughout the months of October and November. Bring your chrome book to the College and Career Center, on the 2nd floor of the main office. Seniors who are applying to a four-year university should take advantage of this open lab time to complete your applications with assistance from a counselor! If you come in during class time, you will need a pass from your teacher. The CSU/UC deadlines are Nov. 30th, but don't wait until the last minute!
