The GHS Experience Event

The GHS Experience is an event held in early January of each year when incoming freshmen for the following year and their families are invited to learn more about GHS. This includes things like the courses offered to our incoming freshmen, exciting electives at our comprehensive high school, and other opportunities such as clubs and athletics available to our students. 

This year's event was held on Monday, January 6, 2025. If you have any questions regarding The GHS Experience, please contact the GHS main office at (262) 376-5500.
