In 2018 a new award was established called the Academic Achievement Award. Each year, it will be given to people who have graduated from GHS and have immediately gone on to college, university, or a military academy and have distinguished themselves by their grades and the type of degree that they earned, the awards and honors that they have been given, their extracurricular activities, as as well as any community service they may have provided.
