Superintendent Jamie Grube recognized the GMHS Counseling staff (Amy Moran, Lauren Taylor, Melanie Reed, Diana Montgomery, and Adam Davidoff) for their efforts to organize the first-ever Skilled Trades Expo for students. More than 500 sophomores attended the event on Nov. 15, where they met with representatives from more than 25 skilled trade organizations. Students tried their hand at cold-fusion plumbing, spreading fresh concrete to form a sidewalk, and even knocking down bowling pins using the boom digger bucket on a backhoe.
