We must wait 30 from any lightning strike within a 10 mile radius of the stadium before entering the stadium. We will send an update once the lightning delay is over.

Dear Griffin High School Families and Staff,
The start time for tonight's graduation ceremony has been moved up to 6 p.m. in an effort to avoid inclement weather. Gates will still open at 5 p.m. All other details for graduation will remain unchanged. Visit (https://www.gscs.org/page/graduation-class-of-2026) the destination graduation page for the top 10 things you need to know for graduation, parking map and the live stream link. Raincoats and ponchos are encouraged but umbrellas are not permitted in the stadium. All students will be provided a poncho. We have been in constant contact with our meteorology team and they have advised that the chance of inclement weather increases later in the evening. If lightning is detected near our area, the stadium will be evacuated and the ceremony will be delayed until weather permits. Any additional updates will be provided on the GSCS and GHS website, social media, GSCS app, email, phone call and text.
Thank you.

Al Barlow (Crescent Elementary), Addyson Crook (Kennedy Road Middle) & Nathaniel Duffey (Griffin High) received Acer Chromebook tablets courtesy of the GSCS Instructional Technology Department. Students are encouraged to utilize Accelerated Reader and Beanstack to track their reading progress. Accelerated Reader awards points to students based on their performance on reading quizzes.
