After Prom Seeking Donations
On Saturday, May 3, 2025, After Prom: Waves of Aloha will provide a safe, entertaining, and inclusive event for GHS's Juniors, Seniors, and their Prom dates. The event will include fun activities like spike ball, laser tag, ping pong, sumo wrestling, music, and food and drink. Perhaps best of all, is that students can win fabulous prizes like a TV, computer, paddle board, cash and so much more! To help ensure we deliver an amazing event, please consider making a generous, tax-deductible donation to help with prizes, food, and entertainment. In kind donations and gift cards are also appreciated. See the link here for more information.

Safe Driving Assembly April 8
Gallatin High will be hosting an assembly focused on safe driving habits for teenagers on Tuesday, April 8, during 4th period. The assembly will feature an appearance by former MSU Bobcat and current NFL linebacker Troy Andersen. You may have seen Troy’s television commercials promoting safe driving. Troy will also be available for a meet & greet with students in the commons following the assembly.
Safe Driving Focus Group
The marketing team that is organizing the safe driving assembly on April 8 is offering an opportunity for students to participate in a teen traffic safety focus group. The purpose of this focus group is to gather information from teens about driving behaviors in order to encourage safe driving in future marketing efforts. Any student interested in participating may submit their name to Ms. Cindy Reuter (cindy.reuter@bsd7.org). Participation is completely voluntary. The focus group will take place during Prime Time on April 8.
Congrats to Ethan Booher-he won his first two races of the Skip Barber season
