Principal's Corner

Hello Parents and Community,

I hope that you have been enjoying the long, four day weekend. 

Our Lady Blues traveled to Vernon on Thursday and played hard against a good Plainview team. Unfortunately, we did not get the win. I want to congratulate our Lady Blue Volleyball Team on a great season. Thank you to Marci Faulk and the rest of her coaching staff on a great season and for all of their hard work!

I also want to congratulate our RSB3 band members for all their hard work. They went to Denton on Saturday morning and competed at Area Marching Band Contest. Our students did a great job and performed amazingly. They were one of 33 different bands who competed. Unfortunately, we did not qualify for state. Congratulations to our RSB3 members and to Josh Kidd and the other directors for a great season and all of their hard work this year!

This Wednesday is the last day of the 3-weeks grading period. That means any students who had lost UIL eligibility, can regain it if they are passing all of their classes on Wednesday. Please make sure to check your student's grades and encourage them to turn in any missing work.

Looking forward to another great week!

Committed to Excellence,

Adam Anderson
Principal

GHS Processes

Email for Attendance Notes

Any note that you are submitting can be emailed to: ghsattendance@grahamisd.com. Parentsquare messages are accepted as well.


Attendance Notes

Parent notes are only accepted for 14 days after an absence has occurred. After that, they will not be accepted and the absence will stay unexcused. This only applies to parent notes, not notes from doctors. Doctors notes will be accepted at anytime during the year, but the sooner we get them the better.
 

Service Cord Information

Beginning with the Class of 2027, students will have the opportunity to earn a Community Service Cord to wear proudly at graduation!

This cord recognizes the dedication, leadership, and selflessness of our Steers and Lady Blues who actively work to make our community a better place. 

To earn this honor, students must complete and submit the required hours. These hours can be earned throughout their entire 4 years at GHS, not just their senior year. Because this is a new initiative, we are phasing in the hour requirements:
  • Class of 2027 - 50 hours
  • Class of 2028 - 75 hours
  • Class of 2029 and Beyond - 100 hours

Students will complete a Volunteer Tracker Sheet which can be picked up in the counseling office, and return it to Mrs. Bazan, in the counseling office. She will track all students' hours. Because we are phasing this in, students will be allowed to claim any hours from January 2026 to now towards their Community Service Cord.

If students have questions, they can come see Mrs. Bazan in the counseling office.
