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!!!
High school teachers often hear “When am I ever going to use this?” While most people may not graph trigonometric functions in everyday life, reading and analyzing graphs is a practical application and life skill. Students in Ms. Johnson’s Pre-Calculus analyzed graphs comparing frequency, cycles, trends, and parameter restrictions. These skills will transfer to their adult life as they are consumers, make financial decisions, or even notice weather patterns.
Check out the "Rock Your Mocs 2025" events coming up!!!
The middle school Student Council teamed up with the Fraternal Order of Police for our first community service project and scored big both on and off the court! As a reward for bringing in the most boxed stuffing and canned yams for our Hoops 4 Hunger Food Drive, Mrs. Laverty’s Student Council crew joined Ms. Lepo's and Mr. Geer's homerooms for an exciting ORU basketball game, alongside schools from all over the state! They also enjoyed a Chick-fil-A treat for their hard work and generosity.
Our school entryway was overflowing with food donations—the most we’ve seen in recent memory, with the team of three homerooms contributing over 500 of the 800 total items donated!

Jenni Hiatt, NE 2 President, and Grove FCCLA President attended an event called “Say Yes to FCS Education Day.” The event was a collaboration between Oklahoma FCCLA, OSU College of Education and Human Sciences, and current students in the program. OSU offers degrees in education, design and merchandising, human development and family sciences, nutritional sciences, hospitality and tourism, and so much more. Jenni has decided to become a Family and Consumer Sciences Instructor!!!
Grove High School social studies students are in full swing with our canned food drive this week. Students are taking meaningful steps towards helping those in our community with food insecurities, and their work reflects the values of civic responsibility and compassion. Students, please remember you can get a snack or beverage tomorrow only with the donation of a non-perishable food item. Teachers, you will be treated to a donut in the staff lounge with the donation of a non-perishable food item. Thank you, Ridgerunners, for doing your part to give back to our community in a meaningful way!

Dear Community Members,
The Social Studies classes at Grove High School, in partnership with the Grand Lake Fraternal Order of Police, are proud to launch a one school week Community Food Drive from November 3 through November 7. As part of their studies, students have been exploring the impact of the recent government shutdown—not only on our nation, but also on the lives of families in our own community.
Moved by what they’ve learned, our students are taking action. This food drive is a meaningful step toward helping those affected by food insecurity, and it reflects the values of civic responsibility and compassion. With the support of the Grand Lake FOP, we aim to make a real difference—and we invite you to be part of it. Let’s come together to make sure everyone has food during these trying times. Your support—whether through donations or spreading the word—can help ensure no one in our community goes without.

It was all treats and no tricks at GMS on Halloween!
Students showed off their creativity with fun costumes — from storybook characters to favorite icons, and even a student dressed as our superintendent from his Red Sox days!
