We are currently working with our local team and officials at JBU to determine the best ways to maximize the available space in the arena while maintaining a safe and well-organized environment for our graduates and their guests. One step many school districts take in situations like this is requiring tickets for admission, and we plan to implement a similar process this year. Graduation will be held on May 17 at 2:00 p.m., and anyone attending will be asked to present a ticket for entry.
GHS will send a letter home with each senior on Monday to begin determining how many tickets each graduate will request. Additional tickets will be available through the High School Office once initial needs are identified, and we will communicate when those become available.
We are sharing this information early with the community because we know graduation is a meaningful event for many people, and we want families and supporters to have time to plan ahead—even if you do not currently have a senior graduating.
For questions, contact the GHS office at 479-736-2667. Thank you.
We are excited to announce that our district has launched an upgrade to the phone system designed to make it easier and faster for you to connect with the people and departments you need.
Many of you may have already noticed the change when calling our schools or district offices. This upgraded system provides clearer options and more direct routing to staff members. We encourage you to listen carefully to all available menu options so you can be quickly connected to the right person.
As part of this upgrade, we’ve also incorporated our district’s radio commercials as hold music. While you wait, you’ll hear highlights that celebrate the incredible opportunities, achievements, and programs that make our school district such a special place to learn and grow.
This improvement reflects our commitment to maintaining the strongest and most effective lines of communication with our families, staff, and community partners. Clear communication is essential to supporting our students and ensuring a positive experience for everyone we serve.
A special thank you goes out to our outstanding Technology Department for their hard work, planning, and dedication in making this upgrade possible. Their efforts behind the scenes help keep our district running smoothly every day.
