The GHS and SHS Interact Clubs along with Rotary Club members participated in Griffin’s annual Stream Clean-up Saturday, April 12th.

Since we are on spring break next week, we wanted to make sure to take the time now to celebrate our secretaries!  Today they were sent out for lunch in a limo.  We greatly acknowledge and appreciate all of the hard work that our secretaries do to help keep our school running smoothly.  Thank you for all you do!

Ready for their trip to lunch in the limo!

The Biology students of Freshman Academy Team 1 ventured into the lab to practice DNA extraction. The students used everyday items that could be purchased in the local Walmart. Students were able to practice techniques that are used in labs for detecting viruses and bacteria in the environment. What’s next for our students? Could it be the forensics lab in Griffin, the GBI or the FBI? We are… Griffin!!!!

On April 10th, GHS students participated in a mock prom night disaster drill.    During the drill,  a scenario was presented where two cars with prom attendees crashed due to drunk driving. The drill included student actors being removed from the cars, breathalyzed, life flighted, and some even were portrayed as dead.   The event was held to show the dangers and devastation of drinking and driving.  We would like to thank the members of the community that came to help in the effort.   We wish everyone a fun and safe prom!

Congratulations to our GHS team that was an InVenture Challenge Finalist!  The team members were Jacob Hill, Lionel Wallace, and Daniel Fernandez, and their winning project design is called the, “The Hop-Up”.

Jeramie Paz, ninth grader at GHS, won second honors at the 2014 Georgia Science and Engineering Fair that was held at the Classic Center in Athens, GA on March 28-29!
