Buccaneer Alumni Bulletin

Greetings Buccaneer Alumni~

We have had a fantastic start to the new school year here at Gulf! In just a few short weeks, we have welcomed families to six big events.

Up next is a special night to honor our GHS Alumni! Our September 16, 2022 football game is being dedicated to those who graduated from our school these past 100 years. It will be a special time to give a shout out to everyone who participated in football, cheer, band, color guard, and Naval JROTC. We'll make announcements and invite you to be cheered and applauded by the crowd.

Alumni shirts as well as a special GHS Alumni Football Game commemorative shirt are being sold so people can show off their school pride with Buccaneer Gear. See the order form below.

And for our 100th Anniversary celebrations, have a look at the list of events printed in the entry below. To kick things off, the City of New Port Richey is issuing a Mayoral Proclamation to honor our school and its history.

So much more is in the works to celebrate our school, honor alumni, involve families and community, and partner for the success of our students. In this our centennial year, Gulf High School is truly Sailing the Rising Tide ~ Reaching New Horizons.
