Good evening Bearcat Community. We are seeking an individual who would be interested in serving on our school LSIC. LSIC is an acronym for Local School Improvement Council. The LSIC helps develop and promote the school's vision, encourage involvement from all stakeholders, and represent the voice of the community. The required members for the LSIC are defined by state policy. We are blessed with an active group. At this time, we have an opening on the council for a community member that does not have any children in the school and is not employed by the school. We are required to meet 4 times per year. If you are interested or just want more information, please contact Mrs. Shumaker.
🍂🎃 Happy October 1st... Fall has arrived at Grafton High School! 🎃🍂
A huge thank you to Colton Gillespie for helping decorate the front of our school as a part of GHS Student Council and bringing the spirit of the season to our campus. Your hard work and creativity make our school look festive and welcoming as we step into October! 🍁✨
Be sure to take a look at the beautiful fall touches next time you’re in front of the school — it’s the perfect way to start the month! 🤩
Join us for the upcoming events with the Spanish department!

✨🎉 Our Spanish students proudly participated in the Fiesta Hispana in Clarksburg, WV! 🎉✨
🌸 A group of six girls performed El Jarabe Tapatío, a beautiful folkloric dance from Mexico.
🎶 Former student Kelly Bokyard gave a touching performance of La Llorona.
🎨 Members of the Hispanic Honor Society volunteered by painting faces for children as part of their community service.
All of them did a fantastic job — and at the same time enjoyed authentic food, lively music, and colorful dances from many Hispanic countries. 🇲🇽🇻🇪🇵🇷🇨🇴🇪🇸
👏 Muchas gracias to our students and parents for supporting the Fiesta Hispana, sponsored by Conexión Hispana.
🙏 Special thanks as well to the students who came with their families to enjoy the event and celebrate Hispanic heritage with us.
💛 We are proud of you! Los amo🥰
