🎓📸 Last week, our seniors celebrated Senior Spirit Week with a full week of fun and creativity!
Monday kicked things off with College & Career Day, followed by Decade Day on Tuesday. Wednesday had the halls filled with “senior citizens,” and Thursday students dressed like their homeroom teachers. Friday was First Day of Kindergarten Day, although many seniors were already in costume preparing for the Senior Showcase!
Thank you to our seniors for making the week so memorable and full of school spirit!

From Friday May 1st to Saturday May 2nd, six of our GCHS musicians participated in the annual Glenville State University Honor Band Festival. Participants in the Concert Band were Marelly Medrano (1st chair clarinet), Catelynn Parsons (1st chair oboe), and Ellaina Rogers (8th chair clarinet). In the first-ever GSU Honors Jazz Ensemble, we had Maria Mincey who placed 5th chair trumpet! And lastly- in the first-ever Honors Percussion Ensemble, we had Clark Kirk who placed 3rd chair and Georgia Carpenter who placed 13th chair! These students represented our school/county with excellence and pride. We're very proud of all their accomplishments and cannot wait to see how they will fare during next year's honor band season.
"It's so special to bring students to my alma mater's honors festival every year," Mrs. "K" Buckley says. "Participating in these when I was a high school student as well as a college student was integral to my education experience and gave me an opportunity to become a better musician. I love bringing students to these events because not only do they become better musicians, but they also make wonderful memories that last for a lifetime."
Marelly Medrano also was invited to play with the official GSU Concert Band! This is a prestigious honor and a testament to her abilities as a musician. This concert was held on Friday May 1st! Congratulations to Marelly!

🌿 6th grade students from GCHS and GCCA had a great time at Cedar Creek for Conservation Day on Wednesday, April 29th.
Students rotated through hands-on stations where they learned about water quality, forestry, wildlife, snakes, beekeeping, soil, horticulture, and even how to navigate using a compass!
It was a day full of learning, exploring, and connecting with nature in the outdoors. Awesome job, 6th grade! 🍃

On April 17-19 Breanna and Rayanna White traveled with Mr. Hill to the WVU Tech Campus in Beckley to compete in the annual West Virginia Design and Build Contest. 🌉🏗️
In order to be selected as finalists, they competed in preliminary rounds against students from around the state by building and optimizing bridges using computer software. For the finals in Beckley, they constructed a bridge out of balsa wood and glue which was then tested for its strength. Their bridge was able to hold 5200 grams (11.4 pounds) of sand before breaking! The trip also included a stop at the New River Gorge bridge to admire its engineering and construction.
