Safety Information
It is important to be aware that the Fire Lane (Raptor Way/bus lane) is a Fire Lane
at all times, regardless of whether or not school is in session. We understand this lane is a convenient place to park in the evening and during weekend events, but please always use regular parking if you are going to be leaving your vehicle and are not just picking up a student. It is important that emergency vehicles always have access to the building through this lane.
If you are coordinating any after hours events, please communicate this with your group. Thanks for your help!
We need you! Project Connect is looking for more volunteers
Project Connect is committed to the idea of supporting our students, partnering with educators, and promoting a positive campus environment. Project Connect helps foster a sense of belonging that is a benefit to all.
It only takes a half hour to an hour at a time and you can pick times that are conducive to your schedule. If you are interested, you can find more information on the website, you can sign up here or you can contact GHS Project Connect at gallatinhighprojectconnect@gmail.com

Support GHS Bands by joining the Raptor Run!
Raptor Bands is putting together an in-person 5K run/walk fundraiser on Saturday, May 20th! Rather than just selling another product you probably don't need, we are trying to bring the community together. We'd love to see many of you and your families at the event. Whether you can attend or not, please help spread the word!
Here is the sign up link.
