Principal's Corner

Hello Parents and Community,

This past week was hard for several of our students and all of our staff due to the passing of our Engineering teacher and friend, Ms. Lowrey. I want to thank you for the support and kind words given to our students and staff this past week. I also want to thank all of you who came to her Celebration of Life. She was an extraordinary teacher, mentor and friend and will be greatly missed.

This past week our Steers and Lady Blues Soccer took on Mineral Wells for their Senior Night games. It was a great experience to see our Seniors honored for all their hard work over the last 4 years. Our Steers basketball team also battled hard this weekend against Glen Rose. It was a close game and our athletes battled hard. Steers Basketball will be going to Bi-District on February 24th. This week we have Baseball and Softball at home. Congratulations to Coach Weil for being elected to the TASCO Board of Directors. I know he will represent Graham well!

As a reminder, there is no school on Friday since it is a Professional Learning Day for staff. Thank you for the grace shown to me and my staff this past week.

Respectfully,

Adam Anderson
Principal

What's Happening at GHS...

✨ You're Invited: The Glass Slipper Prom Boutique Event!

Prom season is just around the corner, and we believe every student should have the chance to celebrate this milestone without the stress of a price tag.

For the past 15 years, the Glass Slipper Project has had the honor of providing prom dresses and accessories to students in our community. Our mission is simple: to ensure that the cost of formal wear never stands in the way of a student making lifelong memories at prom.

👗 What’s New This Year?
In the past, we’ve shared our resources through school announcements. This year, we are thrilled to announce a brand-new experience! We are hosting a four-day prom dress shopping event right here in Graham.

Students are invited to browse a beautiful selection of dresses and accessories in a boutique-style setting—all at no cost.

📅 Event Details
  • Location: First United Methodist Church, Graham
  • When: March 4th-7th
  • Who: All Junior and Senior girls
  • What’s Included: Prom dresses, shoes, and accessories

Coach Weil Elected to TASCO Board

On November 21st in Galveston, Texas Coach Weil was (1 of 4) for the entire state of Texas elected to The Texas Association of Soccer Coaches Board of Directors. The Board of Directors work hand in hand with the Texas High School Coaches Association and The Texas Girls Coaches Association on many different platforms for student-athletes across our great state.

Coach Weil will begin his 4-year term as a member of the board this spring. At the conclusion of his 4-year term he could move forward and serve as the Vice President or President of The Texas Association of Soccer Coaches. Coach Weil has been a member of TASCO for 18 years.
