GHS Sturgeon Release on April 25th
Sturgeon Release Thank Yous!
Our Sturgeon release was a success! While this may appear to be a small moment, our dedicated fish crew would disagree! They have spent 6 months caring for our sweet Sturgeon every day-- including weekends. Thank you to Kris Galoci, Jenny Robish, Maggie MacPherson, Sophia Vincent, the Grand Traverse Band of Indians, and the rest of the fish crew for their tireless work to grow our 24-25 GHS Sturgeon.
Learn about the impressive Lake Sturgeon!

A Note from our Superintendent
Dear Greenspire Community,
I hope this message finds you well. You might have read an article in Saturday's Ticker about NMC's plans to relocate their university partners to the main Front Street Campus and to rename the University Center to the "Boardman Lake Campus." While the relocation plan includes the Michigan universities that have partnerships with NMC, it does not include Greenspire High School. In 2023, Greenspire and NMC signed a lease agreement that expires on July 31, 2030. NMC has assured us that they are committed to having Greenspire remain a lessee throughout the term of the lease.
As always, thank you for your continued support. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Dr. Michael Schramm
