Future Leopards in the Building!
Today our incoming 6th graders got a sneak peek of junior high life at GJHS!
They learned the Victory Chant , sang the Alma Mater and Fight Song , and explored both inside and outside the building . From classrooms to hallways, our future Leopards got a glimpse of what it means to be part of our GJHS school family !
We can’t wait to welcome the Class of 2031 this fall — it’s going to be a great year!
