Principal Jim Woytek
Dear Cowboy Community,
I hope that all of you have had a wonderful June! We still have nearly two months of summer left, but I'd like to remind you of a few important dates. We will host a Back to School BBQ on the evening of August 20th, with burgers and games available on the front lawn at 5:30. There will be a 9th grade and new student welcome meeting at 6pm in the GHS auditorium that night, and tours available for incoming students. School begins on Monday, August 24th. See the Important Dates section below for more information on schedules and registration.
GHS students have been busy with summer activities. We have had students performing service work at Ft. Logan National Cemetery, presenting and the National Hazards Workshop, and serving as delegates to the FFA State Convention. See below for more about these events.
GHS student athletes have also been working hard this summer in preparation for the 2026-2027 sports season. CHSAA has moved required paperwork to a new system called Arbiter. Student athletes must have a physical and registration paperwork completed before competing. Due to increased costs of travel and officiating fees, athletic fees have increased to $180 per sport, with a $500 family maximum. Payment plans are available.
The GHS office will be closed through July and will officially reopen August 10th. You can expect the first edition of the 2026-2027 Newsletter in early August. Have safe and happy 4th of July, and a wonderful summer!
