Dear Cowboy Community,

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! We had 96 students participate in our annual Commencement Exercises on Sunday. Valedictorian Aaron Baca, Salutatorian Caroline Sudderth, and Class President Aubrey Welfelt all delivered wonderful speeches. Congratulations, too, to our very own Mrs. Jeanene Nelson, who was selected as this year's Dan Tredway Memorial Excellence in Teaching recipient. Mrs. Nelson was surprised with the award at graduation, and was joined by two dozen of her relatives from as far away as Germany!

GHS Sports are officially wrapped up for the year. Seniors Faith Pederson and Aiden Tomlin both qualified for the State Golf Championships at Lone Tree, which took place earlier this week. After two days of horrible weather conditions, Faith placed 14th in the State!

Track & Field had a wonderful showing at the State Championships at JeffCo Stadium. Freshman Autumn Terry placed 6th in the 200m and 8th in the 100m runs, Sophomore Ian Baker finished 6th in the 800m and 10th in the 1600m runs, Senior Caroline Sudderth was 12th in the 100m hurdles, and Freshman Jordan Callahan placed 13th in the 3200m run. The 4x100m relay team of Maya Petrie, Caroline Sudderth, Aubrey Welfelt, and Autumn Terry took 10th; and the 4x800m relay team of Gianna Wickenhauser, Jordan Callahan, Avrey Crean, and Elora Jones finished 15th in the State.

In addition to some incredible State performances, Faith Pederson, Autumn Terry, and Ian Baker all received CHSAA 2nd Team All State Honors this week.

Final Exams begin on Wednesday, May 27th. We will distribute yearbooks on the last day of school, after completion of the 1st Period exam. Seniors may also pick up their cumulative files and official diplomas on May 29th after the conclusion of final exams. Busses will pick up students at 11:40am on Friday, May 29th.

Please remember there is no school on Monday, May 15th in observance of Memorial Day. If you're in town, consider attending the annual Memorial Day service at the Gunnison Cemetery, sponsored by the Gunnison Post of the American Legion. Members of our GHS Legion will be volunteering in town and at the cemetery!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! Thanks to Mrs. Benson for her incredible work in organizing another wonderful graduation and to Western Colorado University for allowing us to use Paul Wright Gymnasium.

Students in Mrs. Nelson's and Mrs. Brown's class participated in a z-drag building activity after completing pulley labs a couple of weeks ago. The z-drag is used as a 3:1 system in rescue operations and we are grateful that GVFD lets us borrow their equipment! Students are also building their mousetrap cars during the final part of the semester.

Ms. Brown's class also visited Coldharbour for their final field trip of the year. They studied cloud types, soil moisture, and stream velocity to help round out the mini weather unit.

Ms. Brown and Mrs. Nelson worked with the new members of the our LINK Crew--the Gunnison Bullfighters--who will help introduce our 9th Graders to GHS next year!

Do you want to take driver’s Ed but don’t want to sit in front of a computer to do it? Then take an in-person driver’s ed class this summer. Thanks to support from Gunnison County, the Choice Pass and the Colorado Department of Transportation, you can take a week long class in Crested

Butte or in Gunnison for free! If you are at least 14.5 years old at the start of either class, you can take

one of these classes and be ready to get your learners permit when you are 15.

The first class will be held in Crested Butte at the Oh Be Joyful Church from June 8 – 12.

The second class will be held in Gunnison at the Ann Zugelder building from August 3 – 7.

Both classes will start at 9:00 and finish around 4:30 daily. Attendance is required and at the end of the class students will take and pass a 20 question final. Snacks will be provided, and students can bring their own snacks and drink. Lunch will be on your own.

If you would like to register for either class, send an email to Robert Whiting at whitingrobert29@gmail.com . If you have any questions you can call him at 970-596-8639.

It’s time to learn how to drive!
