Basketball
Our school offers both boys' and girls' basketball teams, and we participate in the annual GCC wide basketball tournament. Both of our PE teachers coach the respective basketball teams. The basketball season typically takes place during the winter months. Students interested in playing on a team have to be in good academic standing and have no behavior issues. The teams represent our school in the community, and we want to ensure our athletes display good character at all times. We are looking forward to another successful season. GO HUSKIES!
