AP Environmental Science - Did you know?
Game Spirit and Etiquette
First of all, since we are still a new school, many people still do not recognize our school song. We ask that when you hear our school song played, you stand up and clap along. Also, there are two chants within the school song and we need your help to learn these so others catch on.
Chant part one: the band spells G-A-L-L-A-T-I-N Gooooo Raptors!
Chant, part two: at the end of the song, there is another chant that alternates with the drums. It goes like this: drums - G - drums - H - drums - S - GHS!
You can watch the video linked below for a video of the band playing the song to practice the chants.
Secondly, like many places, our custodial staff is short staffed right now and struggling to keep up with demands of a large high school. After games and events, please take a look around and pick up any trash that you or others left behind. When everyone contributes at games and events, it helps our custodians prioritize classrooms and teaching spaces.
Thank you for your help!
Speech and Debate
You can also stop by and see Ms. Jackson in room A-176 with any questions.
