We want to offer a huge congratulations to Ellie Sellers for finishing 4th in the state in high jump!

Congratulations to TJ Conner on commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army! It was truly an honor and privilege to administer the Oath of Office to a former Galva Jr./Sr. High School student and 2022 GHS graduate. Thank you for your willingness to lead and serve this great Nation. Congratulations, Lieutenant Conner!

On Wednesday evening Mrs. Dooley and Mr. Freeman's 4th grade classes held a Living Wax Museum Night. Students chose an individual who played a shaping role in history and reported on that person by making a poster board of their life. They dressed the part and took on the persona of that historical figure. Press the "button" and those individuals came back to life with students telling their story! A job well done in bringing history back to life!

Tomorrow evening is our annual All-Unit Band and Choir concert at Wiley Park! Concert begins at 6:00pm (call time for students is 5:30pm). Bring a lawn chair and enjoy a nice evening of music outside!

The High School softball game scheduled for tonight, 5/13, at Princeville has been canceled.

Tonight is Kindergarten Round-Up Night 2026! We invite all current Galva PreK students going into Kindergarten next year as well as all non-Galva students who will be attending Kindergarten in 2026-2027. Please enter through the Gymnasium Doors. The event will begin at 5:30 PM. See you there!

PreK-2 students enjoyed a safety presentation from Ameren today. Thank you for teaching our students about electricity and natural gas.

The Galva Girls Jr. high track team had some amazing accomplishments at our sectional on Saturday! Of course we need to congratulate our state qualifier, Ellie Sellers! She qualified in all three of her events (100 m, 100 hurdles, and high jump) by placing 1st! She also ran her season's best time in 100 m, finishing in 13.92 s. Ellory Glasser also had a huge day finishing 2nd in 200 m and long jump! She set new personal bests in both events. She ran her 200 m in 31.32 s and jumped 3.92 m in long jump! Ceci Appell ran her season's best time in 100 m, 16.36 s and she set a new personal best in 400 m, 1:19.79! Chloe Anderson set a new personal best in shot and discuss. She threw 5.10 m in shot and 13.96 m at disc! Parker Kaiser ran her season's best time in the 1600 and was just over her personal best, with a time of 6:57.27! Lastly the 8th grade girls 4x100 (Ceci Appell/Ellory Glaser/Lola Leaf/Sam Fox) set a new best time of 1:04.13! Congrats on a great season ladies, we're proud of you!

Both of our throwers made the finals in discus! We love the points and Top 10 finishes. That is huge on a team of only 8 young men. Great job Bubb and Ben!
