A Message From our Principal, Mrs. Yanta

Howdy, Longhorn Family!

It’s hard to believe we are already kicking off the 3rd Six Weeks on Monday! With Thanksgiving Break and final exams quickly approaching, these next six weeks will fly by. Now is the time to stay focused, be intentional, and keep the momentum going!

Students, make it a habit to check your grades in Skyward, stay on top of missing assignments, and turn in your work on time. 

Parents, we encourage you to check in with your Longhorns and stay connected to their progress. Don't let assignments pile up or opportunities slip away. Let's finish the semester strong and make every day count!

Looking Ahead: 2027–2028 Course Selection
Course selection for the 2027–2028 school year will be here before we know it! If you missed Course Selection Night, don't worry! Be sure to visit Counselor's Corner for important information, resources, and guidance to help students prepare for their course selections.

A Spooktacular Shout-Out to Our GRHS PTO!
A huge THANK YOU to our incredible GRHS PTO for showing our teachers and staff some love with a spooktacular Trick-or-Treat this past Friday! We truly appreciate your generosity and continued support of our Staffamily. It was so much fun watching our teachers and staff smile, enjoy a little Halloween magic, and have the opportunity to be kids again—this time, trick-or-treating just for themselves! You made our day, and we are grateful for all you do for Longhorn Nation!

As we head into a new six weeks, let's remember that small, consistent efforts lead to big results. Stay focused, support one another, and keep moving forward. 

OHOH! 1% Better Every Day!
