Congratulations to this week's teacher.we.see.you winner, Mrs. Bevard! She was nominated by a student "for slaying and helping us get into Khan Academy when we didn't understand it." Mrs. Bevard, we see you!

The 8th grade boys basketball team had breakfast following practice this morning to fuel them up prior to joining the MTHS basketball team and helping with lawn care and landscaping at Coach Garey's today! Coach Garey has spent years impacting Germantown Hills students and athletes, instilling traits such as hard work, dedication, and service in each of them. It's only right that this group continues to embody those traits. We're behind you all the way in this fight, Coach!
