The application process is many things - stressful, hectic, pressure-filled, and chaotic. Deadlines must be met. Revisions upon revisions must be made.

As a member of Gen Z, I have some questions for Millennials, Gen Xers, and Baby Boomers: reflect back to your teenage years... What was it like? Most of you didn’t have cell phones, and many of you didn’t have the internet. How did you get to know people? How did you form new relationships? No, really...

Aidan Kunst `20 reflects on the Lady Eagles incredible postseason journey to the Semi-State Soccer Championship:
As part of their English class, our eighth graders recently read the book Tuesdays with Morrie. On Halloween, they took a special field trip to The Good Samaritan Home to spend time interacting with the residents there. Students Colleen Meacham and Jesse Kunst wrote a piece reflecting on the book, their experience at GHS, and what tying the two experiences together taught them.
The score was tied, 2-2. There was just one minute left in the game. The mood was tense as Danielle Goebel stepped up to take a corner kick. The kick went up, a well-placed ball to the far post, and… GOAL!
