Quarter 1 Comet Cards

We’re excited to celebrate our 585 students who earned a Comet Card for Quarter 1! Students can qualify for a Comet Card by meeting two of the following criteria each quarter:

Honor Roll
Discipline Free

Comet Cards come with fun privileges and rewards!

Students can use their card for incentives like a late work pass or 10% boost on a test (teachers will initial when used).
Show your Comet Card for free admission to a home athletic event — cards will be hole punched at the gate.
Enjoy the School Store Fast Pass Line starting Monday, November 17th.
Bring your Comet Card to access Open Gym during lunch on Wednesdays — no card, no entry.
Reminder: Lost Comet Cards will not be replaced.

We’re proud of our Comets for showing strong effort, responsibility, and character this quarter!

Please remember that we cannot accept ramen, baby food, or expired items. The last day to donate items is Friday, November 21.

All donations will directly benefit the White Christmas organization and the Grove City Food Pantry, helping local families in need during the holiday season.
