Building On The Foundation Of The Graham Community
The Graham Community Foundation is hoping to help build successful futures for several GHS students. The foundation originated in 2001 with representatives from each of the schools that consolidated to form Graham Local. These schools at Terre Haute, Westville, St. Paris, Concord, Rosewood, and Christiansburg Jackson, were simply the building blocks for our community of the Graham Local School District of today. The foundation’s purpose is to provide money in the form of grants or scholarships to several GHS seniors each year. We serve a variety of students by offering grants for continuing education in trades as well as scholarships for many levels of post secondary schooling including college.
Applications for high school seniors may be obtained in the guidance office and are due back March 27, 2020.
Members of the Graham community are encouraged to help our funds grow in support of our Graham students by sending checks, of any amount, to;
The Graham Foundation
C/O The Troy Community Foundation
216 W. Franklin St.
Troy, OH 45373
The business professionals at the Troy Community Foundation handle all of the donations and investments.
GHS Seniors in the Class of 2020, please be aware the Graham Community Foundation could be the support you need to start building your future!

3 Ways to Volunteer for Wreaths Across America
Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, the mission to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 1,600 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad. A program will be occurring Saturday, December 14th at noon with Evergreen Cemetery, St. Paris, corner of S. High St and W. Troy St.
3 Ways you can Volunteer
1. Help on that Saturday. Ceremony begins at Noon, pre help about 11. At Noon, helping lay the wreaths on the graves of each of the 325 veterans.
2. On Wednesday the 11th or Thursday the 12th the wreaths will arrive in St. Paris.
3. We plan to then set the boxes around in the cemetery so that the people can walk to an area, after our ceremony at the flag pole, Saturday, Dec 14, and get the wreaths out to place on the graves in that specific area.
Please contact Linda Fullerton or stop by Graham High School main office for additional details if interested in helping.
