It's Pitch Competition Day for our Entrepreneurial Institute students! Soon they will demonstrate their products to faculty, staff, students, and guests in an expo format before heading into the Performing Arts Center to deliver pitches before full audience and a panel of judges. Our Entrepreneurial Institute takes students through MBA-level
theory, application, funding, and creation. Students work in teams to design, create, brand, solicit funding
and market their product. Best of luck to all of this year's teams! #whygregory #inspiringexcellence #tgsentrepreneurialinstitute #TGSMake
We are excited to have two discus throwers representing our Track & Field Hawks at State! Congratulations to Helene Clapp '29 and Finley Richardson '26.

Let's cheer them on as they compete this weekend! #whygregory #inspiringexcellence #tgshawks
Each year, Mrs. Parillo puts together a spectacular Eighth-Grade-only snack room to recognize the end of these students' time in Middle School and to welcome them into their high school years.
