Sorry for the short notice, but there will be no 8th grade football practice after school today!
Any student that is taking the PSAT tomorrow needs to make sure they are well rested, eat a good breakfast, and are on time to school tomorrow. It is very important that students taking the PSAT are present and on time. They will begin testing first thing in the morning. Thanks so much!

Our Cross Country team ran a great race Saturday morning in Rogers! It was cool and cloudy (and ended with some pouring rain), but the kids loved it! Both the 9th Girls and 9th Boys finished in 6th Place! 12 runners finished with Negative splits (Mile #2 is faster then Mile #1). 21 out of our 23 GJHS/KMS runners earned a new personal record! Way to go Wranglers and Coach Zbylut! We are so proud of the amazing job our Cross County team is doing! #DestinationGeorge
This past week was a very busy one for our GJHS choir students, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Loyd. We had 71 choir students individually record and send in their recorded auditions for the 2021-2022 Region 5 All-Region choir! We are extremely proud of all students who went through this process.
We are pleased to announce that 36 of our 71 students that auditioned were selected to be in the ArkCDA Region 5 Jr. High All Region Choirs! Way to go, Wranglers! We are proud of all of our students that auditioned for their hard work and dedication. We also want to send a huge congrats to Mr. Jones and Mr. Loyd! #DestinationGeorge

This Cabinet is formed of GJHS students who will give a voice for their peers in regards to any questions, comments, and/or concerns about ongoing issues and hot topics within our building. They will work together with our Building Admin and come up with reasonable resolutions to make everyone’s experience at a GJHS positive one! #DestinationGeorge #THEChoice
