What a great opportunity for our high schoolers!
The Griggsville school building recently had a couple of exterior doors replaced. The new doors were a much needed upgrade. Pike County Glass, Inc. did a great job with installation!
Did you know the high school wing of the Griggsville school building will turn 100 years old in March of 2024? The original school building burned in 1919 and the current building was opened for learning on March 10, 1924. The Griggsville High School/Griggsville-Perry High School Alumni Association invites the community and alumni alike to a walk-through of the high school wing and the 101-year-old small gymnasium Feb. 10 any time from 12:00pm-1:45pm. The walk-through will precede GP’s Homecoming Coronation and game scheduled for that afternoon and evening. Please plan to stop by, reminisce about your time in high school, and have a piece of birthday cake. We would love to see you! Happy Birthday, GPHS!
Keep yourself and your pets warm this week! I’d love to hear from you!
