Principal Jim Woytek

Dear Cowboy Community,


Thanks to Student Council for hosting a wonderful Homecoming Dance on Saturday night. It was a great week at GHS and we've settled back into our routine this week. The first quarter is approaching and staying up on academic work is paramount.


Thanks to Deputy Chief Frank Rodriquez and Officers from Gunnison Police, who joined GHS today at lunch for the first monthly "Chat with a Cop." Students were able to ask questions and build connections with some of our local Police Officers.


Softball came up with two wins last weekend and will host both Cedaredge and Delta at home next week on Tuesday and Thursday. Both doubleheaders begin at 3pm. Mountain Biking had a great week the day after Homecoming and finished with an impressive 3rd Place in the team standings. Volleyball took down Western Slope League rival Coal Ridge on Thursday evening at home and they'll head to Basalt for another league match on Saturday.


Soccer takes on Basalt this afternoon, while Football travels to Delta. Softball heads to Cortez before next week's home stand, while Cross Country is back on the road for a twilight race in Salida Saturday.


Have a wonderful weekend and GO COWBOYS!
