If haven't heard, we have a new face at GHS! Meet Carolyn Whyte our new Assistant Principal! Carolyn is from Gaylord, Michigan and a graduate of Gaylord St. Mary's. She completed her undergraduate degree at Alma College, her Master's degree from Central Michigan University and her Educational Specialist degree from Grand Valley State University. If you recognize the name, it is probably because you remember her from the two years she spent as the Grant Middle School assistant principal at the start of her career in administration. For the past 18 years she has been the principal of Wayland Middle School. After retiring from Wayland, Carolyn realized that she still has more to give. She officially joined our team last week. We are very fortunate to have her wealth of knowledge and expertise! Welcome to the team Carolyn!

Countdown to Commencement
It's roughly six months until the senior's last day of school! There is nothing currently to share with you this week, but we will keep you updated with important information in regard to your senior.
Meet Ethan Mansfield, one of our science teachers here at GHS. This is Ethan's first job as a teacher after graduating from Cedarville University with a B.S. in Geology. Mr. Mansfield says, "I love my job at GHS. I have the opportunity to teach three amazing classes; Environmental Science (Earth Science), Biology, and Horticulture & Botany. Since Environmental Science is a freshmen class and Biology is a sophomore class, I get the chance to build student relationships for two years in a row with a lot of my students. In my botany class I have a wide mixture of grade levels and students who truly love the class experience. Outside of class, I help coach soccer at the high school. I also run the disc golf club for the high school students. I personally love to travel to new places, play games, and watch sports."
I will be hosting a parent meeting this Friday from 9-10 at the Fine Arts Center. I understand that we all have different schedules and so some of you who would like to attend will not be able to. Here is a link to a Google Form that will allow you to ask questions that I can address at the meeting – https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsYWHJJzkmNqe9rMVdFIxB-4OyDi_amV-A_zvKjdIZ4HQCww/viewform?usp=sf_link

Class of 2025 Parents & Seniors,
One of the most exciting and important times for seniors and parents is preparing for commencement this spring. We want to make sure this year’s senior class has everything they need to celebrate and be honored for all their hard work in reaching this important milestone.
IMPORTANT – Please look for the class of 2025 official graduation announcement samples arriving to you in the mail next week. The announcements were designed by representatives of the senior class and they are an important part of your graduation order to send to family and friends regarding commencement details.
On Thursday, September 19th the Jostens team will be distributing information to the senior class followed by an email to parents with more details on placing your graduation order, most importantly being your Cap & Gown for commencement. Please keep an eye out in your inbox and open it for complete details on the graduation products and the deadline to have orders placed.
ALL graduation orders need to be placed by FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH. Orders can be placed anytime online or turned in to the Jostens drop box in the high school office prior to September 27th. Jostens will also be in school on Friday, September 27th if your senior has questions or would like to turn the order in directly to them at that time. It is extremely important to have your order submitted by this deadline. We want to make sure we allow plenty of time to produce and prepare the senior graduation orders.
If you have any questions, please call/text the Jostens team at (616) 330 – 2141 or email at studentkeepsakes@jostens.com
