The GHS Talon is now online at talon.goshenschools.org! Check it out for web exclusives, student opinion polls (who is your favorite lunch lady?) and a special photo sneak peek of the GHS production of Mary Poppins.
IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: One of the many responsibilities of a coach or teacher is to correct the student-athlete when you do something wrong or need improvement. How are you when it comes to handling constructive criticism or suggestions? Remember, there are all different styles and deliveries when teaching or coaching someone. Be sure to listen to the message. Some will be negative in the delivery, others will be positive. But filter the delivery and listen to the message. Handling criticism and instruction will only make you better. Everyone needs improvement, so take those suggestions to help you become a better person, student, and athlete!
Due to ISTEP testing, the Career Center field trip has been postponed until Thursday, March 24th. Those students with signed permission slips will still be allowed to attend.
