Gallatin High Update

This Friday and Saturday the Tom LeProwse wrestling tournament will be taking place at GHS beginning on Friday, January 5 at 11:00 a.m. While participants have been instructed to park off campus until school is over, it is likely that parking in all lots will be a challenge on Friday. Students and staff members should plan to remain on campus during lunch if at all possible to avoid losing a parking spot. Wrestling tournament participants should be contained in C-wing during the school day on Friday.

We are looking for new members to join the GHS PAC! Many of the GHS PAC officers have graduating seniors this year so we'll need some new volunteers to step in and step up. The GHS PAC meets once per month and provides incredible support for our staff and students! Please consider volunteering to help support this wonderful organization.

If you are interested in joining, you can attend a future PAC meeting:

• January 16 - Principal Schnee will be sharing updates on the block schedule for next year
• February 20
• March 19

• May 21
