Students, Parents, and Guardians,
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! I hope you all had a fantastic summer break filled with making memories and recharging for the year ahead.
I want to share just how incredibly excited and honored I am to lead our school community. Every new school year brings a clean slate, fresh energy, and boundless potential. Walking through our hallways and seeing our classrooms come alive with the energy and enthusiasm of our students is truly the best part of my job, and I am thrilled to get started.
This year, our school team is deeply committed to focusing on three core goals to ensure every single student thrives academically, socially, and emotionally:
Improving Attendance: Success starts with showing up. Every single day a student is in school is an opportunity to grow, connect, and learn. We want to work in close partnership with our families to ensure our students are here, on time, and ready to engage every single day.
Taking Ownership of Your Learning: True education requires active participation. This year, our goal is for students to embrace the challenge of their coursework, stay curious, and take personal responsibility for their academic progress.
Preparing for the Next Step: High school is a journey with a destination. Whether our students are aiming for a four-year university, a trade technical school, military service, or entering the workforce immediately after graduation, our goal is to ensure they leave us with the skills, confidence, and credentials necessary to succeed in their next chapter.
Your partnership is vital to our success. I encourage all parents and guardians to stay involved, communicate openly with our staff, and join us in making this year amazing. Please feel free to reach out to your student's teachers or to me directly with any questions, suggestions, or successes you’d like to share.
Thank you for your continued support, trust, and partnership. Let’s make this a fantastic school year filled with learning, growth, and celebrated achievements!
Warmest regards,
Mrs. Tish Casper, Principal
Grand County High School
