GCHS is blessed with the best!!! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our DIFFERENCE MAKERS!

We have the best staff at GCHS, and we love to showcase them, help me recognize our next GCHS Gnomey Homie recipients!!

Angela Hartz - She is a great teacher who is always willing to help others and provide positive encouragement. Her work ethic and genuine care for students and teachers are a true inspiration. She is making a positive impact on many students' lives. We are truly grateful to be able to learn and be inspired every day.

Coach Drake - He does a lot for GCHS! He gets along great with the staff and takes time to talk to students. Most of all, he is a friend to everyone and very deserving of the award. On a personal note, Mr. Rudnick appreciates Coach Drake taking time to talk to him about anything, but mostly sports. It is an honor for him to call you a friend!

We couldn't let National Assistant Principals Week slip by with out giving out a shout out to our AP's!!! They definitely go above and beyond daily to help out our staff and students! GCHS and our community our lucky to have this group and we are thankfully for their contributions towards making GCHS THE BEST!!!

GCHS Indoor Percussion doing big things! Congrats on the bronze finish at SCGC PSAA!!!

One of our high school students has won a very prestigious award, the first time for a GCHS student. Senior, Katlyn Stevenson, has been named an American Visions Gold Medalist. She is one of only 44 students NATIONWIDE to be recognized by the National Scholastic Art & Writing Alliance. She first entered her oil painting, “She is.” into the Regional Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in December. In our region, the South Central Kentucky Region, she won a Gold Key and a nomination for the American Visions Award.

According to her letter from Christopher Wisniewski, Executive Director of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, “Over 110,000 students entered more than 335,000 original works of art and writing to the 2026 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. [Katlyn’s] work was selected by some of the foremost leaders in the visual and literary arts for excellence in originality, skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision. Since 1923, the Awards have celebrated teen artists and writers from across the country.” Katlyn’s piece will be published in online galleries at artandwriting.org, and her name will be listed in their Yearbook 2026, which features selections of works by National Medalists.

As part of her award, she has been invited to National Awards Week in New York City, where she will be recognized and given her medal on stage at Carnegie Hall. This event will be held June 9-11, 2026.

Please help us congratulate her on this extraordinary award.

Big win by our Winterguard last weekend! Look at their official red carpet photo - they look and did amazing!

​Help us recognize our next two Gnomey Homie recipients!!

Kent Rudnick! - Thank you for all you do each and every day to make GCHS operate. We appreciate everything you do for our students, faculty, and staff. We are especially thankful because Kent always takes care of issues that come up. Kent keeps GCHS going!!

Maribel Ray! - She is an amazing teacher. She teaches Spanish in such an engaging way that students really enjoy her class and learn so much without even realizing it. As a fellow teacher, she is always willing to give advice, an encouraging word, or just a funny story. We are lucky to have her at GCHS!

Please help us recognize our March Students of the Month for their outstanding behavior, hard work, and achievements. While not all students are pictured, we proudly celebrate each and every one of them for the contributions they make to our school community.
