November 15: School Board Members Day
To recognize the outstanding efforts of the nearly 6,000 elected school board members throughout the state, November 15 of each year is designated as "School Board Members Day" in Illinois.
The Germantown Hills School District is blessed to have such a supportive school board. Members include Justin Krager, Justin Nena, Ryan Billingsley, Julie Grant, Mark Hull, Jennifer Albright, and Mark Duffer. Please take a moment to share your thanks and appreciation with them.

GHES

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! 💙
