Gallatin High Update

GHS Raptor Booster Club has had a wonderful year, thanks to all of our generous Boosters. As we look forward to next year, we are looking for two volunteers to serve on our booster board. Primary commitments include helping with membership drives at the start of the school year and attending a meeting once a month throughout the year. We meet at GHS on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6pm. If this is something you may be interested in, we would love to invite you to attend our next meeting on May 13 and/or reach out to a current Booster officer. Thank you!

Smiles Across Montana is a non-profit mobile dental clinic that will be coming to GHS to provide dental care to interested students on May 5th-8th, 2025. They provide dental care for any students who are not receiving regular dental care for any reason. Registered dental hygienists who are under direct general supervision of a dentist, will come to our school with all of the equipment they need to provide preventive cleanings, fluoride varnish treatments, digital x-rays if needed, preventative cavity treatment, and preventive dental sealants. They also have an extensive referral system to help students' families find a dentist in the community, if needed. They take dental insurance, and have a scholarship fund to help pay for services when families can’t.

The consent form is linked here, and paper copies can be found at the Attendance office, Main offices and the Nurse Office. Completed consent forms should be turned into the Main Office or to the School Nurse as soon as possible. Please click here to view the Smiles Across Montana website to learn more about this great organization. We hope to see you there!

Don't forget you can order some Gallatin gear at this website. You can also order both BHS/GHS items at this website.
