GHPS - NEW MASK UPDATE!
GHHS Concert Band Superior at MSBOA District X Festival
This week, our High School Concert Band performed in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association District X Festival hosted on our very own stage at Godwin Heights High School. Our students had the opportunity to play for four accomplished adjudicators in our Auditorium. After they were done, they received a short clinic from one of the judges to help further their learning and performance.
Our High School Concert Band received praise for their overall sound and timbre, their clarity and precision with rhythms, and their ability to perform three pieces of music with distinctly different styles. They received feedback on ways they can continue to build their skills to shape musical phrases and suggestions for performances moving forward. Overall, our HS Concert Band received a rating of a I (one) - Superior (the highest you can receive from MSBOA). This is a tremendous achievement for our students.
Following their performance, our students played host to 11 other bands from around west Michigan - helping other groups have a fantastic experience on our campus, guiding them through our facilities, and ensuring the stage was prepared for their performance needs. It is an honor for us to be asked to host and we were proud to be able to say yes.
If you see a band member, SHOW THEM LOVE because they showed their Godwin Pride!!!

SEL - Socio-Emotional Learning
Hello Godwin Family. Districtwide, students continue to learn critical Socio-Emotional skills to help facilitate personal growth and positive relationships in the school community. This week at the High School, students began learning different types of bullying as well as understanding its lasting effects. Students will be learning skills such as empathy, communication, and positive social engagement to help build social awareness around this very important topic. Please take some time to discuss these with your student and utilize the resources below to help build upon these skills.
