Dear Cowboy Community,

It's been a great Homecoming week at GHS. Thanks to all of the student and teachers who have put in for much time into hosting really wonderful events throughout the week. Our "Bullpen" was packed for athletic events and our student-athletes have put in tremendous effort in competition. Tonight, catch the Football team on the gridiron for a 7pm kickoff at Cowboy Memorial Stadium. Choir will be singing the National Anthem and the Cowboy Marching Band will perform at halftime, with Homecoming Royalty also announced at halftime of the football game. Saturday, Softball has a 11am and 1pm double header against Meeker at Jorgensen Field, while Soccer takes on Telluride at 11am and 1pm at Cowboy Memorial. Good luck to the Mountain Bike Team as they ride in Glenwood Springs on Sunday.

Congratulations to our GHS Golfers, who took 2nd Thursday in Montrose.

Saturday night, Student Council hosts our Homecoming Dance from 7pm-10pm in the GHS Commons. Please remember that there is no admittance after 9pm and no re-admittance after leaving. Have a safe Homecoming celebration!

Congratulations to Senior Brooke Terry, who was recognized for excellence by the National Merit Scholar Corporation, and to all of our students who earned an academic award for a 3.5 cumulative GPA each semester last year.

We also welcomed three alumni, Mr. Matt Taramarcaz, Ms. Marisela Ballasteros, and Mr. Ronnie Benson, who addressed the student body about their experiences at GHS and the importance of academics, Athletics, and service.

Thank you to the City of Gunnison and, especially, Gunnison Police Department, for making our annual Homecoming Parade a smashing success. Our Parade Marshal this year is Mrs. Kattnig, who is teaching in her final year at GHS. Mrs. Kattnig has served as a Science Teacher at GHS for the past 30 years and has also served in the roles of Science Olympiad Coach, Climbing Coach, Band Sponsor, and Athletic Trainer. Congratulations to Mrs. Katting and THANK YOU for all of your incredible service to GHS!

Congratulations to G Club Student-Athletes of the week, Nolan Witzel and Reese Japuntich.

GWSD and Choice Pass continue to strengthen our partnership and align our shared commitment to helping students make healthy choices.

The Choice Pass commitment and GWSD Activity and Sports Code of Conduct both ask students to remain drug- and alcohol-free. This year, we are working to further align communication and expectations between the two programs. As part of this partnership, violations of either program may be shared between Choice Pass and GWSD so we can better support students, connect them with caring adults, and reinforce clear expectations. Choice Pass and GWSD will each follow their established protocols when violations occur.

We are proud that 96% of Choice Pass students upheld their commitment to remain substance-free last year. We appreciate the continued partnership of our students, families, and community in supporting healthy choices.
