Today, the IL School Report Card was released to the public. Both the elementary school and middle school earned “Exemplary” status!
Once again our students are achieving near the top of the state on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR).
GHES
ELA Achievement (IAR)
79% compared to 56.3% for the state average (2026 data)
Math Achievement (IAR)
72.2% compared to 39.6% for the state average (2026 data)
GHMS
ELA Achievement (IAR)
90.3% compared to 56.3% for the state average (2026 data)
Math Achievement (IAR)
71.4% compared to 39.6% for the state average (2026 data)
GHMS was also a 2026 finalist for the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Schools . This is the highest honor a school can receive in the state. Schools must demonstrate top-tier academic performance, typically ranking in the top 15% of the state in reading/English language arts and mathematics.
Such accomplishments don’t happen overnight and are a testament to the people in place and to those who came before. Please take a moment to celebrate with our students, our teachers, the administration and the board of education.
We had SO many fabulous, creative, and wonderfully decorated pumpkin entries this year! Our students and staff truly outdid themselves, making it incredibly difficult to choose our winners!
We are proud of everyone who participated and shared their creativity with us. Thank you for making this year's Literary Pumpkin contest so much fun!
We hope you enjoy checking out these amazing pumpkins as much as we do! Great job, Warriors! 💙
These Warriors demonstrated what it means to show RESPONSIBILITY throughout the month of October! They understand the importance of taking action, making thoughtful choices, and recognizing the impact their actions have on themselves and others.
Great job, Warriors!
The word of the month for November is Gratitude, choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives!
Two incredibly kind and deserving recipients of this special recognition! ❤️
Teddy was nominated by his teacher for his empathy, his willingness to always lend a helping hand to a friend, and the positive impact he makes in his classroom.
Mrs. Gabriel was nominated by a parent in our community for the care, dedication, and heart she pours into our students each and every day.
Both Teddy and Mrs. Gabriel embody what it means to be a Warrior. They are hardworking, compassionate, and the kind of people you can always count on when you need them most!
Please join us in celebrating these two wonderful Warriors!
We are so lucky to have them as part of our school community!
