A Message from Mr. Hawkins

Parents and Guardians,


During the Summer of 2021, a discussion started regarding opportunities for future course offerings for the students at Galesburg High School. During the first semester, meetings were conducted by each department, with the involvement of high school administration, to begin creating the GHS Course Description Book. After many revisions by the high school staff, and in cooperation with our central office administration and members of the board of education curriculum committee, we are happy to present the GHS Course Description Book for 2022-2023. You may view our course offerings by clicking the following link: Course Description Book


The counselors will be hosting a pre-orientation session next week for each grade level to talk about the course catalog, changes for next year, and information about scheduling courses. Pre-Orientation will take place on the following days and times:


Class of 2023 (juniors)- Mon. Feb. 14- 10:30-11:05- Theil Gym

Class of 2024 (sophomores)- Tues. Feb. 15- 10:30-11:05- Theil Gym

Class of 2025 (freshmen)- Wed. Feb. 16- 10:30-11:05- Theil Gym


We want your child to have a positive experience while attending Galesburg High School. Every year we provide our parents with the opportunity to complete the 5Essentials Survey. I am asking that you take a moment and complete the survey by visiting the following link: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/


In closing, I must continue to stress the importance of regular student attendance at school. The staff at Galesburg High School wants your student in attendance. Working together, we can create a positive educational experience for your student.


In Silver and Gold,


Mr. Hawkins

Student Reminders Student Reminders

Student Identification- Students must wear their ID’s around their neck as intended at all times in the building during the school day. The ID must be visible and worn outside of the students’ clothing.

Lunch- Galesburg High School is a closed campus. This means that students are not allowed to leave campus to get lunch. Our servery is newly remodeled and provides many nutritious choices for our students. Additionally, our new student commons provides students with a spacious atmosphere to enjoy lunch with their friends.
Start Time- On a regular school day, school starts at 7:40 a.m. This means students are expected to be seated in their classrooms, ready to learn, at 7:40 a.m.

Restrooms- Our restrooms have been newly remodeled. Please use the restrooms appropriately.

Lockers- Students are to place coats and backpacks in their lockers during the school day. It is also a great location to store their cell phone.
