IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: This past week a college basketball player, Jordan Bohannon of Iowa, was on track to break the school’s all-time consecutive free throw streak of 34 straight makes. What followed was a story for the ages. It’s what Bohannon did on his 35th attempt that sets him apart from most record-setters. He missed on purpose. The young man he was about to surpass (Chris Street) didn’t have the opportunity to extend his streak past the 34, because he was tragically killed in an automobile crash during the 1993 season. With Street’s family in attendance at this most recent game, Bohanon chose not to surpass Street on the all-time list, instead choosing to miss #35 on purpose. While Iowa fans still remember Street and his accomplishments, they will never forget Bohannon because he honored Street by letting his record stand!
Come support the girls tennis team by grabbing a bite at Culver’s in Goshen on Monday, March 19th between 5:00-8:00 p.m.

REMINDER REGARDING 10TH STREET: We still have people driving the wrong way on 10th Street. This is a ONE WAY street. OJ is now writing citations for this. It’s a $165 fine.
REMINDER: YOU MUST BE STAYING AFTER SCHOOL FOR SOMETHING TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS – The GHS cafeteria is offering free after school snacks every day after school. This program is for any student who is staying after school. All student-athletes, club members, music participants, drama participants, after school homework help kids, etc. are strongly encouraged to stop by the cafeteria after school and take advantage of this generous opportunity. Students just need to show their ID and they can grab a healthy snack to go that will hold them over during their after school activities until dinner. The cafeteria will stay open until 3:55 p.m. to hand out the snacks. All students picking up the healthy snack after school will need to eat their snack in the cafeteria. We appreciate your cooperation with this adjustment that is mandated by the state of Indiana in order to continue this program.
If you are a student that leaves the building at any time during normal school hours then you must have a sticker on your ID if it’s for a class (PACT, Building Trades, EACC, Merit, shortened schedules, Red Zone, internship, etc.) that indicates that or a blue pass from the office indicating that you have permission to leave. Building Trades, EACC and Red Zone students are also required to sign out at the Welcome Center before leaving.
ATTENTION ALL SRT CLASSES: We will have a competition between all of the SRT’s to see who can collect the most bottle caps. There will be bins in each SRT classroom and the caps will be collected every week. The winning SRT with the most caps will get HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS or a PIZZA PARTY! The competition will end before Spring Break. If we collect 400 pounds as a school, we will be able to recycle them into a park bench. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to save the environment and win a prize! If you would like to collect or sort caps during SRT contact Mrs. Swihart in room 2200 or email her at cswihart@staff.goshenschools.org. It will count for NHS volunteer hours and it looks great on college applications!
WORK PERMITS: When you get a work permit EVERY box needs to be filled out on the Intent to Employ form before we will issue you the work permit. Please bring completed forms to the main office in the morning and they will be completed by the end of the school day.
