Blues is at the core of all modern American music. Except for Native American music, the blues is the first pure American music to have developed in this country. As blues musician and songwriter Willie Dixon says so succinctly: “Blues is the roots and everything else is the fruits.” It comes from the oral tradition of folk music and as such, reflects the issues and feelings of the people playing and singing it. In this way it is the history of those who produced it. Through the blues, students can feel what happened in those times and through reflection and discussion, can see how those lessons pertain today.

We are excited to have Blues in the School, an educational outreach program of the Idaho Blues Society, coming to the schools in Mountain View School District 244.

7 Girls from Varsity Blue, along with Miss Carla, were proud to sing the National Anthem at the McCulley Brothers Veterans Bench Dedication ceremony held on Sunday, August 31st. 11 McCulley brothers from Doumecq served in the military between 1941 - 1955, and all came home. Kerry and Meleah McCulley donated this bench in honor of these men. Thank you, McCulley's, for allowing GHS Varsity Blue to be a part of this special day. Pictured on the bench are George and Al McCulley.

This announcement is for Mountain View School District parents and students within the Elk City, Grangeville, and Kooskia communities. Weather conditions require a 2-hour Late Start tomorrow, Thursday, February 6th, 2025. Bus route pick up times will be 2-hours later than regularly scheduled times. School doors will be unlocked 2-hours later than normal. The 2-hour delay will provide more time to restore power to affected areas in the district and allow for additional daylight to improve visibility when assessing icy roads. We will update you with future notifications if conditions change. Again, all Mountain View 244 schools will have a 2-hour late start February 6th. Please stay safe and warm.

This announcement is for Mountain View School District parents and students within the Elk City, Grangeville, and Kooskia communities. School is cancelled tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 5th. Weather conditions make roadways and bus routes hazardous to get students to school safely. As a result of this closure, school doors will remain locked with entry not possible. We are notifying you of this cancellation so you may make plans for your children for the day. Again, all Mountain View 244 schools and activities will be cancelled February 5th. Please stay safe and warm.

To ensure the safety and security of our students, staff, and facilities, Grangeville High School will be deactivating door access fobs that have not been used in the last two weeks and are not checked out to known individuals. This is part of a regular security practice, conducted at random intervals, to maintain a secure environment. Please note, there is no threat associated with this action. If you believe your fob has been deactivated in error and should still be active, please stop by Grangeville High School today so we can verify your access needs and, if appropriate, re-register your fob. If you no longer need your fob or don’t require it to be reactivated, please return it to the school for proper use. Remember, fobs are not free and should be used responsibly. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe campus. ~ Mrs. Bush

Class of 2025 Graduation time was changed to 3:00. Please spread the word!

Please welcome our SRO (new school resource officer), Deputy Watkins. An SRO is a law enforcement officer assigned to a school to help ensure safety and security. SROs build positive relationships with students, staff, and parents while addressing safety concerns, preventing crime, and serving as role models. They also provide guidance and promote a safe learning environment through education and support. We are so excited to work with Deputy Watkins.

Grangeville High School has taken on the task of a STEM Grant Blood Drive this year. We are wanting to try and help our local hospitals, patients and school. We need your help. We are about 25 donors shy of our goal. With your help and donation we can reach the donation goal and help qualify our school for a STEM Grant while we help save lives. The blood drive is tomorrow! -Tuesday, January 7th 2025, 1:30pm - 6:30pm on the Vitalant Bus outside of our High School. We need you to sign-up and donate to help us reach our goal. One reason we chose to go in January is so that any donors who donate for our blood drive will be eligible for the GEMS blood drive in May of 2025. Thank you so much for all you do for our community, our hospital, our patients, and for our school. It is greatly appreciated. Here is the link to sign-up. https://donors.vitalant.org/dwp/portal/dwa/appointment/guest/phl/timeSlotsExtr?token=w7nnEZr6LqL8Xl4U3OJT766ACDv3jP9tssaEq1cMi0c%3D Thanks again! GHS Student Body
