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!




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.

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!

GCHS would like to take a moment to thank and acknowledge our community for their support and love for our students. Though highlighted these past few weeks with turning gyms orange, that is just a small part of the every day support our students get from our community.
The community impact on GCHS is everywhere! The Cougar gym was packed this past Tuesday with people supporting our band students, many in the community have been supportive and congratulating archery accomplishments, our business partners in our community are always offering opportunities for job shadowing and co-op opportunities for our students and also make numerous donations to programs through the year, our medical community consistently provides assistance throughout the year, and there are so many more prime examples of community support that we can not list them all!
So whether you are a parent, faculty member, business partner, or community member that supports the Orange and Blue of GC, we truly thank you for your support! Your support to our students defines what it means when we say…WE ARE GC!

Why Not Us? Small Town Big Dreams! Let’s go Cougars! Let’s get it done!#WeAreGC

Chancellor Dennison - The way he differentiates individuals within the student body, staff, and community is amazing. The time and detail he dedicates to our students allows them to flourish beyond their own expectations. Thank you for using your talents to improve the lives of the students of GCHS!
Michaela Priddy - The warmth and compassion Ms. Priddy so freely gives make encounters with her a bright spot in any student or staff member's day. Her ability to foster joy in her instruction has excited countless students to attend her classes and has left just as many with fond memories. Her willingness to take on honors and AP courses means she has also opened doors to opportunity for students who would have otherwise been closed.
