Greely Center for the Arts Grand Opening
THANK YOU! On Monday, January 28th, we held the Grand Opening of the Greely Center for the Arts with a ribbon-cutting and stellar performances by our K-12 students. From the Grade 3 chorus singing for the first time, to the polished Madrigal singers performing in the lobby, to the mini art gallery in the lobby displaying K-12 student art, there was a little something for everyone to see and hear throughout the evening. After the ribbon cutting ceremony, the amazing GHS theater students were present at every turn to help assist our guests as they navigated throughout this beautiful new facility.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank every single student who contributed, every parent, every GCA building committee member, every Board member over the past three years, and every community member for helping to ensure that this dream become a reality. Without YOU, this facility would never have been built. For that, we are incredibly grateful.
Thank you again and we hope you enjoy the pictures and videos we have compiled below showcasing this incredible evening.

Budget Primer #3 of 7
The District is committed to helping our students, parents, community members and staff better understand our budget.
