Gahanna Lincoln High School

Please take a few moments to watch this address from Superintendent Dr. Deagle that she delivered during the Sept. 21 Board of Education meeting. In her superintendent report, Dr. Deagle expressed her thoughts on student behavior and measures taken by the District in response to those violating the student code of conduct and District efforts to maintain a safe educational environment. She also discussed ways our parents and communities can work in support of our schools.

We will hold the Homecoming Dance in our gymnasium on Saturday, September 23, from 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM.

Homecoming Dance Guidelines

• Students will enter the Homecoming Dance at the main entrance of the building (Hamilton Road). For student and building safety, doors will lock at 9:30 PM. All students must be in the building by 9:30 PM. Students who arrive after 9:30 PM will not be permitted to enter the dance.

• Students cannot leave and re-enter during the dance for any reason. If a student exits the dance they must leave the premises.

• Everyone, including Homecoming Dance guests, MUST bring their current school-issued ID card and a ticket to enter the dance. They must have both of these items to be permitted to enter the dance. They may use their current school-issued ID or their digital student ID, and present that at the entrance with their ticket to the dance. There are NO REFUNDS for not having your current school-issued ID. If GLHS students do not have a current school-issued ID that says 2023-2024 on the ID, they can go to the main office to get a new one for $5 or obtain their 2023-2024 digital student ID by following the instructions linked here.

• Tickets are $15 each.

• Guidelines and rules for purchasing tickets are above and should be read before purchasing a ticket. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS to these guidelines.

• There will be no cash or online sales at the door before entering the dance. All tickets must be purchased before the start of the dance.

We have OVER 40 clubs/activities and 27 sports at GLHS! Being involved in the PRIDE offers so many benefits, such as:

• Improves academic performance
• Allows students to explore interest and create broader perspectives
• Increases social opportunities
• Builds essential life skills (time management, goal setting, teamwork)

Click here to see our growing list of clubs/activities and sports, and encourage your Lion to get involved at GLHS!

To increase safety and security protocols, all GJPS volunteers who may have the potential to interact with students in an unsupervised setting or may have access to confidential information will be required to complete an online application that includes a background check. The district will provide the background checks at no cost to the volunteer. Background checks are required EACH school year. If you completed a background check last school year, you will need to complete the process again for the 2023-2024 school year.

Please contact Mrs. Williams (williamsje@gjps.org) for the link for the Volunteer Application.
