In case you missed it, there has been a ton of activity around GJSH this week. New lights, new lot, new shed!
Just a reminder that you must have a physical from the state of Kansas on file in the HS Office in order to participate in sports this fall:
JH Football Camp will be held 6-8pm tonight through Friday in the JH practice field by the track. Bring some water and a championship attitude to kick off the season!
Congratulations to Braxton Case for winning this amazing national scholarship!
"As promised, here are the names of 303 young men and women who just received a work ethic scholarship from The mikeroweWORKS Foundation. A total of $2.4 million will be distributed among them, to help pay for the training they need to excel in their chosen field. Please join me in congratulating this year's recipients, and more importantly, in thanking them for choosing to learn a skill that’s in demand.
As you may have heard, America’s workforce has had a math problem, and we've struggled with it for nearly a decade. For every 5 five American workers who will retire this year, 2 workers replace them. This 5:2 ratio of retirees to new workers has been particularly devastating to the construction trades, and to skilled labor overall. Obviously, that math is not sustainable.
As I type this, hundreds of thousands of college graduates with billions of dollars in student loans can’t find work in their chosen field, but remain untrained for countless opportunities that actually exist. That's a national tragedy, and before long, I suspect it'll be a matter of national security. To say it another way, the skills gap is real, and if we don’t do something to reinvigorate the trades and make a more persuasive case for the millions of good jobs that don’t require a four-year degree, we’re going to see a truly unprecedented shortage of electricians, plumbers, welders, carpenters, masons, welders, linemen, and countless other critical jobs that are going begging. And that’s going to impact all of us."

We have one of our biggest recipient classes of the Kansas Silver Seal of Biliteracy. This award verifies a functional-level of proficiency in both English and Spanish. Not pictured - Katherine Carreon, Alexa Fernandez, and Anisa Ochoa.
From the Class of 2026:
Please see the signup for concessions at the ball fields beginning on June 10th. This will run through July 15th. The tournament days have not been added to the signup yet as I will not have that schedule until closer to those dates. I will let you know when those have been added later in June. This fundraiser is only successful if people signup and volunteer their time. I know that the students are older now and very busy as are most parents, but please volunteer a time or two so that it is successful! Thank you!
