Upon arrival today, staff were greeted in the parking lot by the Grove High School Band and Cheerleaders, and the excitement continued in the PAC as our entire team came together for the school song, National Anthem, and Pledge of Allegiance.
Superintendent Doug Brown shared his vision and passion for the year ahead with one powerful message:
WE ARE GROVE.
THE DISTRICT OF CHAMPIONS!
What a GREAT way to kick off 2026–2027! We are ready. We are excited. WE ARE GROVE!

Attention Ridgerunner Nation!

The energy was electric at the Second Annual Ridgerunner Rally‼️ Our town showed up in a huge way to celebrate our softball, football, band, color guard, cheerleaders, and cross country students. From the cheers and school spirit to the incredible turnout, it was clear: Ridgerunner Nation is ready for an amazing year! Thank you to everyone who attended and participated to make this hometown event such a success. Together we are stronger and louder than ever! We Are Grove, The District of Champions‼️

Due to senate bill 1481, start times and end times had to be adjusted to meet state regulations.
