I really like GHS. The sports are fun, and include everybody. Not to mention the Boys Cross Country team has been to state 4 years in a row. This school has excellent teachers, and a good educational program.

The atmosphere is great; everyone knows each other, creating a tightly-knit bond that you might not find at a bigger school. You can find support and help from every teacher and every student. As a student, you are encouraged to do the activities at which you excel but you are also pushed to try your limits and do new things.

GHS continues to be a top-notch school. It's challenging curriculum, extensive extra curricular opportunities, and dedicated faculty and staff continues to be on the leading edge of the changing world today. Our school prepares college bound students for academia, as well as those choosing to come into the workforce and our community. I say, our because the Grinnell community has an invested interest in our schools, and a deep commitment to its success. I am an alumnus with three children in the district and proud to be a GHS supporter.

The students of GHS are great kids! Many students know the importance of giving back to the community and are involved in many community service projects. They provide good role models for our younger children in the community. The staff continues to go above and beyond to help each student. The principal and staff have created a very caring atmosphere at the high school. This then sets the tone for the students to care about each other also.
