Principal Jim Woytek
Dear Cowboy Community,
Congratulations to our students and staff for wrapping up another wonderful year at GHS. The Class of 2027, now our GHS Seniors, was the first Kindergarten class when I began at GES twelve years ago. It's one of my great professional pleasures to have had the opportunity to know groups of students for so long. And, with a new Senior class, we also have a new Freshman class. For those of you who are members of the Class of 2030, it was a pleasure to attend your Continuation Ceremony and welcome to Gunnison High School.
We'd also like to congratulate Mrs. Janet Welsh-Crossley, GHS Spanish Teacher, and Mr. Rodney Lull, GHS Assistant Building Manager, on their retirements. Mr. Lull will be working through June, but Mrs. Crossley begins her summer and retirement today! Thanks to Mr. Seth Boardman for his service to the GHS Special Education Department over the past eight years and to Ms. Rocky Moore for her incredible work this year as Office Manager. Ms. Moore will be teaching in GWSD next fall!
The GHS Office will be open Monday, June 1st-Thursday, June 6th from 8:00am-11:00am. Graduates may collect their cumulative folders and diplomas during this time block. Please remember to bring in NHS stoles if you did not purchase it!
If you would like to purchase a yearbook or pick up one you purchased, Mrs. Benson will be at GHS Monday, June 1st 11am-1pm.
Students and families, you can expect one more Newsletter from us in June, followed by an August edition to start off the school year. Keep an eye out for important updates. Student-athletes will have multiple opportunities for sports physicals before the new athletic seasons begin.
Have a safe and wonderful summer vacation. Once a Cowboy...Always a Cowboy.

Driver's Education
Do you want to take driver’s Ed but don’t want to sit in front of a computer to do it? Then take an in-person driver’s ed class this summer. Thanks to support from Gunnison County, the Choice Pass and the Colorado Department of Transportation, you can take a week long class in Crested
Butte or in Gunnison for free! If you are at least 14.5 years old at the start of either class, you can take
one of these classes and be ready to get your learners permit when you are 15.
The first class will be held in Crested Butte at the Oh Be Joyful Church from June 8 – 12.
The second class will be held in Gunnison at the Ann Zugelder building from August 3 – 7.
Both classes will start at 9:00 and finish around 4:30 daily. Attendance is required and at the end of the class students will take and pass a 20 question final. Snacks will be provided, and students can bring their own snacks and drink. Lunch will be on your own.
If you would like to register for either class, send an email to Robert Whiting at whitingrobert29@gmail.com . If you have any questions you can call him at 970-596-8639.
It’s time to learn how to drive!
