Principal's Message
NOVEMBER 2019
Parents, students, and friends of Galva Junior/Senior High School:
We are off to a quick start again here at the Junior Senior High and it is hard to believe the 1st quarter is over. The new school report card will be released on Thursday, October 31st, 2019. Once the report card is released, we will have it available on our website. The state website is: http://www.illinoisreportcard.com/
Our students in our STEM classes now have a production shop using laser and 3D printing technology. This is a production shop that is beginning to create products for the Galva community and most recently, printed logos on the new stainless steel coffee cups for the Anderson Family Coffee. The team created Wildcat key chains for the English I class fundraiser. The students are learning valuable technical and business skills in the STEM lab and production room.
Veterans Day Recognition Ceremony and Assembly – Monday, November 11th, 9:00 AM
The Elementary and Junior/Senior High will hold its Veterans Day Recognition Ceremony on Monday, November 11th, at 9:00 AM in the High School gym. We will have a guest speaker from the Rock Island Arsenal. The Pekin Community High School JROTC Honor Guard will perform their unique POW/MIA missing man ceremony during the assembly. Our choirs will perform a few patriotic songs and our elementary choir will sing the National Anthem.
I want personally invite all area veterans and Galva families to the event. The ceremony should last approximately 30 minutes. I encourage all veterans to wear your respective service attire to show your support of our Armed Forces. There will be refreshments for all veterans after the ceremony.
It’s now Wildcat sports season. Our Marching Wildcats won the Best Overall in Class 1A/2A Band in addition to first place trophies for Best Drum Major, Best Drumline, and Best Winds at the 2019 Music on the Mississippi competition. Please check out our calendar and attend one of our many school-sponsored events here in Galva.

We had another 11:30 release day full of adulting classes in the high school and resilience training in the junior high. The high school classes included everything from cooking, drone and robot technology, to winterizing your vehicle. The students also received inclement weather safety advice and how to read a road map!
