High School

One of our favorite traditions is the graduation parade before the ceremony! Graduating students drive past all the elementary schools, middle school, and end up at the high school as the community cheers them on!

A wonderful afternoon at Geneseo High School as we officially dedicated the Ted McAvoy Career and Technical Education Center! GHS Vocational Director Travis Mackey introduced Mr. McAvoy, who shared career reflections and expressed deep gratitude for his colleagues, the community, and his wife, Marilyn. The dedication also celebrated the bright future of the trades in our district. Mr. McAvoy took time to recognize GHS student Alex Davis for a remarkable milestone: completing the residential carpentry apprenticeship program and surpassing 4,000 hours of industry training. Congratulations to Mr. McAvoy on this well-deserved honor, and to Alex for carrying on a proud tradition of excellence.

Join us in celebrating the incredible school nurses who keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn!

Today is National School Nurse Day 2026, a time to recognize these dedicated professionals for their vital role in supporting student well-being and academic success. This year’s theme, "Trusted, Valued, Essential," perfectly captures the impact they make every single day.

From managing chronic conditions and responding to emergencies to supporting mental health, our school nurses are compassionate caregivers and strong advocates for every student.

Please join us in thanking our amazing Geneseo school nurses (pictured left to right):

Thank you for all you do for our students and our community!

As Teacher Appreciation Week continues, next up to show their gratitude is Millikin Elementary and its principal, Philip Moe, who writes, "We have the best teachers and staff. They do far more than teach academics — they counsel, inspire, motivate, cheerlead, and challenge. Thank you to the wonderful staff at all our buildings!"
