Congratulations to GP senior, Emoree Stauffer, on being named an Illinois State Scholar! This program recognizes Illinois high school seniors with strong academic achievements, typically ranking in the top ten percent of their class. Selection is based on a combination of high ACT or SAT scores and the student’s sixth semester class rank and GPA. Emoree is the daughter of Ryan and Genny Stauffer. Excellent work, Emoree!
Just a reminder…the Griggsville Park is closed for the winter!
