The faculty and staff at GHS
would like to congratulate you
on your graduation. We commend
you all for your individual
accomplishments as well as your
successes as a class. During this
unusual and trying time, we have
thought of you often and continue
to plan for you tirelessly in how we
might further commemorate you
all. While history may remember
you as the “COVID CLASS,”
we will all remember you as the
“COURAGEOUS CLASS.” You
will move forward in life with as
much uncertainty as anyone your
age has for some time. However,
we know that with the love of your
families, the support of your community,
and the preparation of
your school you are all ready to
thrive as you enter the always unknown
“real world”.
Love, Your GHS Family

You have experienced exceptional moments, magical moments, and created memories that will last a lifetime.
Our goal was to push you and challenge you to face diversity and empower you with the skills needed to begin
the next chapter in your life. Whether you choose to enter the workforce, attend college, start a family, or join
the military, work hard and show compassion for others. You are now ready to move forward and success may
not come quickly or easily. But if you strive to do what’s right, if you work harder and dream bigger, if you set an
example in your own lives and do your part to help meet the challenges of our time, then I am confident that you
will be happy, hopeful, and successful in your endeavors. Congratulations Class of 2020.
