Good Afternoon!
Great things are happening at Granville Jr/Sr High:
One of our 8th graders is featured on the blog about his musical talents. Click this link to read it.
The College Caravan visited this week and our Juniors got to visit with a library full of college and trade school representatives. Click this link to watch a clip of it on our Facebook page.
All our clubs and sports are underway and our students are getting the hang of their new schedules.
We Need Your Help
Did you know even missing a school day every couple weeks is enough to make your child chronically absent and makes it hard for them to keep up with school work and maintain friendships?
Please reach out to our school nurse (contact info at the end) if you're unsure if your student should stay home. Having trouble getting your kid on time to school? Contact our guidance counselors (contact info at the end) and we will work with you. Thank you!
