👏 Congratulations to our Galva Junior/Senior High School students who showed up and stood out! 🐾

This must have been the day for team building and problem solving! Mrs. Norway's Computer Science class tried to build the tallest tower using only 3 pieces of paper, as they begin leaning about the problem solving process! 🧐🤔🗒️

Due to the heat index and temperature the JH baseball game scheduled with Monmouth United JH has been cancelled. On 9/2/2025 this game will be made up at Alexis where United will host Galva.

Mrs. Betz's class had a little friendly competition to start off the school year. Each class was tasked with the goal of working with a team, using 25 straws and an arms length of tape, to create the tallest free-standing tower. Students not only had fun but worked on their collaboration. Congratulations to the 7th hour girls with the tallest tower by a hair!

Wildcats fell to BV Junior High 13-3 . Sawyer Hulstrom struck out 2. Camden Johnston, Reazin Brose, Sawyer Hulstrom, and Bennett Colwell made hits. Camden Johnston and Jax Williams earned RBIs.

JH Baseball is back in action today at 4:30 PM at the Galva Park District as we take on United. Its getting warm so stay hydrated!

Go Cats!

Galva High School Golf off to a great start last night. Two athletes with PR's on the night. Gage Simoneaux shooting a 45 and Olivia Calderon shooting a 55. We also had two athletes place in the top 5 for the night. Gage Simoneaux placed 4th (45) and Braden Murphy placed 5th (49). Great job team!! A great way to start the season!
