Dear Cowboy Community,


Our First Semester is wrapping up and and finals are next week. You can find the Winter Finals Schedule here. Note that Wednesday, December 17th is a seven period day, with shortened classes to accommodate early release, and finals for periods 2, 4, and 6 will be on Friday, December 19th.


Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 16th, for the annual GHS Holiday Concert. The curtain rises at 6pm and both the GHS Choirs and Band will perform.


It's been a busy week here at GHS,. We hosted six basketball games on Tuesday and a wrestling dual last night. JV and Varsity Basketball play host to North Fork this evening in the Main and Auxiliary Gyms, with games starting at 4pm. You can also catch our Swimmers and Divers at the Gunnison Rec Center tomorrow morning, with events beginning at 10am.


The Cowboy Boys Wrestling team took first at the Bayfield open last weekend, led by 1st place finishers Zach Benson, Zayne Benson, and Julian Patrick. All three Lady Wrestlers--Romie Uhrig, Roxie Uhrig, and Tea Waggoner--stood atop their podiums, as well. Wrestling headed to Montrose today for a two day tournament.


GHS Climbing opened with last week in Grand Junction, with the Boys team taking 7th place, led by Luke Bruggeman and Ethan Pierce. The team heads to Eagle this weekend for their last competition before break.


Good luck to all of our students on finals next week. Have a wonderful weekend.
