On Friday, May 12, Garrard's Student Impact Team participated in their annual Day of Service. This day consists of partaking in a voluntary service to their local community. The team broke up into three groups; the first group volunteered at the Garrard Adult Daycare Center, the next group went to the Garrard County Animal Shelter, and the last group walked around town giving out goodie bags to show appreciation to local businesses.
Congratulations to the Class of 2023 from Spurlin Funeral Home! Spurlin Funeral Home would like to wish them the very best on their future endeavors. They have lined the GCHS campus with 183 yard signs in honor of our graduates. Come drive through and see the tribute to our seniors. We ask that the yard signs remain up through May 26th, and then families can begin to take them. Thank you to Tudor Printing for a job well done.
A favorite tradition for our seniors today! The graduating Class of 2023 walked the halls of our Garrard County Schools for the last time as current students and staff cheered them on! Congratulations to our seniors, we can wait to see what you accomplish!🎓 #gcsproud
