G.C.H.S

Congratulations and Thank You!

Citizens Helping Students would like to thank the thousands of people who supported our students and the Grant community through the referendum!

We are grateful for the dedication and spirit of hundreds of volunteers as their efforts brought our story to the voters. Much appreciation is extended to the community as well. 61% said "Yes" to the cause, doing their part to play an important role in the positive development of the school.

Today - and now tomorrow, too - Grant stands proud!
