It was absolutely fantastic and I am so proud of all the students and staff who have worked tirelessly over the past term - all the time spent was well worth it. One of the things I love most about GBHS productions is that there is a place for everyone who wants to take part. Whether you have been involved in stage productions for years or you are totally new to the experience, you can get involved. This is something to be celebrated. I’m really looking forward to welcoming former Green Bay High School students and staff back to school tomorrow to celebrate 50 years since the opening of our school. It will be a fantastic opportunity to reconnect and reminisce and share how our school has changed and evolved over the years. Hope you have a great weekend.
