Tiger Nation:
We had a great first few days of on campus in-person learning this week at GHS. I was fortunate to be able to get into classrooms and let students know how excited we are to have them back on campus.
It is critical that we all continue to wear our masks/face coverings and practice social distancing when possible in an effort to continue to keep the doors open at GHS. We experienced a higher than usual number of students being tardy to their first period class this week. If your student(s) walk or drive to GHS, please encourage them to allow adequate travel time to ensure that they are arriving on campus prior to the start of class.
Today, we remember those we lost on September 11, 2001. We celebrate our nation’s strength and resilience as well as draw inspiration from the survivors and families that lost loved ones as we continue to honor their legacy. We recognize and applaud the men and women in uniform for their unwavering dedication to our country.
We appreciate your patience, flexibility and trust in GHS as we continue with our transition back to campus and in-person learning.
Have a great weekend!

Important Game Information
As our fall season kicks off, there have been some necessary changes to watching home games. For football and girls’ volleyball, the entry fee will be $5.00 per person (includes students and adults; kids 5 & under are free). We are going cashless, so you will need to buy your tickets ahead of time at http://gofan.co/GilbertTigers, and download the GoFan app, so you can show your e-tickets on your phone at the door/gate. We will have a limited spectator capacity, so tickets will be available ONLINE on a first come, first served basis!

GHS Families:
Below you will find a continually updated document put together by our GHS Career Center that links to many of these upcoming events, workshops, webinars, etc. These events are not just geared for Seniors, although Senior Year is the time when these may seem the most relevant.
THRIVE will be continually updated with changes regarding youth employment, scholarships, visits, college athletics, testing, etc. as we receive them.
