The social studies department would like to thank all students and staff for helping to make this food drive such a tremendous success! This is a great way we can give back to our community in a very meaningful way. Way to go, Ridgerunners!

Congratulations to Isabella Dozier!!! Accepted to The University of Oklahoma! Well done, Seniors!!! Keep the good news coming!!!

Grove High School students in partnership with the Fraternal Order of Police have collected 966 non-perishable food items so far during our week-long food drive! This food drive is sponsored by Grove HS social studies students who have been following the recent US Government shutdown. Moved by what they have learned, our students are taking action. This food drive is a meaningful step towards helping those affected by food insecurities, and it reflects the values of civic responsibility and compassion. Tomorrow is the last day of our drive, so please remember to bring non-perishable food items to Grove High School to help us positively impact the Grove community in a meaningful way!

Gear UP took some Ridgerunners on a college visit to the University of Tulsa!! Thank you to Lycrecia Atkins and Tracie Sconyers for chaperoning the trip!!!
