Gallatin High Update
Week of May 19-24, 2025
Congratulations to the boys & girls tennis teams who were both Division Champs!
GHS Parents Advisory Council (PAC) Update last meeting of the year Tuesday
This Tuesday, May 20, is the last PAC meeting of the 2024/2025 school year. Please join us at 6pm on the first floor of the GHS library for information about the last few weeks of the school year.
Looking ahead to the 2025/2026 school year, we would love to have more involvement from GHS families. Remember - there is no on-going obligation! Feel free to attend PAC meetings as often or infrequently as your schedule allows. If you are interested in taking on a bigger role, please reach out - we are actively looking for officers and/or anyone interested in spearheading various projects through the year. You can always find more information at GHS PAC Parent Resources or email GallatinHighPAC@gmail.com.
We hope you and your students have a wonderful summer and that we will see you in September!

Volunteer Shout Out
The Kitchen Staff would like to give a shout out to these two fabulous volunteers. Dolly and Anne volunteer every Tuesday and Thursday. They work hard to connect with students and staff AND manage to gather all of our dishes and trays for us. We look forward to seeing them every week and appreciate all that they do for the school. Thank you for supporting GHS students and staff!
