Grant HS to Host 17th Annual Gala Dinner Dance

The Gala is a black tie event with over 250 participants from the business community and GCHS. It is used as a means to generate funds for the Partnership for Academic Excellence which provides scholarships and assistance to students, and supports the district’s technology plan. Thanks to last year's participants and sponsors, over $26,000 was distributed to support students.
