Graduation Information
As parents “commence” with graduation preparations and students finish up their high school career, here are some helpful guidelines. Cap and Gown pick up will be Wednesday, May 15th in the Senior Cafeteria during lunch hours. All financial obligations must be met before a student may pick up his/her cap and gown. At cap and gown pick up, each student will receive six tickets to graduation. These tickets will be necessary for admission into the ceremony as it will be held in the Field House. No tickets will be reissued due to loss.
Final exams for seniors only will take place Tuesday, May 21st, Wednesday, May 22nd, and Thursday, May 23rd. The Senior Brunch will be Friday, May 24th at 11:00am at Maravela’s in Ingleside. The cost for the brunch will be $8.00 per student. Tickets will be on sale Monday, May 6th through Friday, May 17th. Tickets must be purchased in advance from the GCHS bookstore – they will not be sold at the door. Graduation practice will follow the breakfast at 12:00pm in the Main Gym. Every student participating in graduation must attend practice. The Senior Video will be shown in the Auditorium after graduation practice at approximately 1:00pm.
The graduation ceremony will be held Sunday, May 26 at 2:00pm in the GCHS Field House. Seniors are asked to meet in the Main Gym promptly at 1:00pm with their cap, tassel, and gown. Appropriate attire is required according to the guidelines set in the letter to parents from the school principal. Click here to view the full letter.

Varsity Softball on a Roll
The Varsity Softball Team is currently having one of the most successful softball seasons in school history. On Tuesday night (5/14), they clinched their first division title in 25 years. Then to cap things off on Wednesday (5/15), they defeated Zion for the North Suburban Conference championship, the team’s first in school history. This championship team, coached my Mike Dolezal, Dan Benes, and Jessica Dart is made up of one freshman (Kenzie Sancken), five juniors (Deanna Rodriguez, Kaitlyn Wold, Caitlyn Moran, Bri Dreschler, and Jamie Reiser), and six seniors (Kayla Uhwat, Brooke Buckley, Megan Funk, Jane Williams, Jenny Gibbs, and Taylor Rossi).
After winning the conference, the Lady Bulldogs have a record of 17-8 and have all the confidence in the world heading into the regional playoffs. They have been playing with the “We can beat anybody” attitude all season, and it has shown with their record against not only the NSC Prairie division, but against the NSC Lake division as well. Thanks to all of the parents, teachers, and fans who have supported the softball team this season. Congratulations Bulldogs!
