Weekly Fun Facts with Cole Waters
From the Desk of Mr. Ohlemacher
As you visit GHS please take time to look at some of the new signage throughout the building.
One of the items you'll likely take notice of are signs which read employed, enrolled and enlisted. It is our expectation that upon graduation each one of our students will possess skills allowing them to secure meaningful employment, enroll in an institution of higher learning or enlist in one of the branches of the U.S. military.
Above each of these signs you'll also find the word empowered. Our students must be empowered to make decisions which place them on the path which leads to their individual success. While we as the leadership will lead, guide and support every student in every possible way, it is ultimately the responsibility of each student to make their own success story.
As always,
Go Comets!
