Adam Anderson, Principal of Graham High School

Principal's Corner

Hello Parents and Community,

I apologize for the tardiness of this week's newsletter.

Last week we had a lot of great things happen on campus. Youth Lead went to the Sheriff's Office and Young County Museum. We had 12 students qualify for state in UIL Solo and Ensemble. Our Tennis team went and competed in Arlington and Basketball went to Brownwood where our Steers won. We also got to celebrate three of our student athletes on National Signing Day. Finally, last week was Counselor Appreciation Week, and we had the opportunity to celebrate them. I am grateful for our teachers and the awesome work they are doing in class.

This week, we have a lot going on. We had Softball this evening, and both Basketball and Soccer have Senior Night games this week. I hope you can join us this week at our Lady Blues and Steers games this week to celebrate our students.

Thank you for your continued suport of Graham High School!

Respectfully,

Adam Anderson
GHS Principal
