Dear Members of the GJHS Professional Learning Community: 

Grand Junction High School 

November 2012 Newsletter 

1400 N. 5th St. 

Main Office-254-6900 Attendance-254-6911 Counseling-254-6914 

It’s been a great start to the school year at the Home of the Tigers! We just wrapped up the fall sports season 

and finished the first quarter. In mid-October, we hosted our annual fall Academic Letter Ceremony where we 

recognized 120 students as Superintendent’s Scholars, 123 students with a 3.75 or higher grade point average 

(GPA), and 132 students with a 3.5 to 3.74 GPA. At the end of the 1 st quarter, we published our Honor Roll and 

423 students earned a GPA of 3.75 or above and 54 students earned a GPA of 3.5 to 3.74. Another 252 students 

also earned a 3.0 to 3.49 GPA. Seventy three students had perfect attendance, 59 Tigers were inducted into 

Chapter 5664 of the Tri-M National Music Honor Society, and 41 of our student-athletes were named to the 

CHSAA All-Academic Team. 

As you know, last year our school applied for and received a Colorado Legacy Foundation Advanced Placement 

(AP) Incentive and Training Grant. Our Math, Science, and English (MSE) AP teachers have been busy 

attending professional development training in Denver and conducting afternoon work sessions for their 

students. A very important strategy and component of this program is the Saturday Study Session. Three study 

sessions for each of the three content areas have been scheduled. In early November, Mrs. Lorena Thompson, 

the lead teacher in the district for English Language and Literature teachers and our other English Language and 

Literature teachers hosted the first district wide training. This session was well attended by our students and the 

training was extremely valuable for both our students and teachers. Our goal is to get 90% or better of our 

students to each of the remaining two sessions of English Language/Literature and 90% or better of our students 

to each of the three math and science sessions. 

We are approaching the Thanksgiving Holiday break and the middle way point of the 2 nd quarter. Winter sports 

teams are in full swing. Our Music Department is preparing for their holiday concerts, and we will be finalizing 

our School Improvement Plan, preparing for the second STAR reading and math assessment for 9 th graders, and 

preparing for final exams. 

There are many more success stories from the 1 st quarter. Please see the attached lists of students who received 

academic letters, honor roll distinction, honor society recognition, and 1 st quarter perfect attendance. 

Also, please see the remainder of this newsletter for recognition of individuals who excelled during the 1 st 

quarter and for articles on topics of interest to our professional learning community. Until our next newsletter, 

smile often, laugh a lot, be safe, and make a positive difference in someone’s life each day.


Congratulations to the following Tigers who excelled 

during the 1 st quarter!

Junior Family Night 

The GJHS Counseling Team would like to invite the families of juniors to attend Junior Family Night. The 

evening presentation will take place on Parent/Teacher Conference night so that you can visit with teachers and 

learn how to help with your teen's future plans on the same day. The presentation will take place on Nov. 15th 

in the GJHS library from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. with time for questions following. The presentation will focus on 

requirements for graduation, Naviance, college/university options, financial aid, scholarships, job searches, 

NCAA requirements, and military options. We hope to see you there! 

Help us Light the Night! 

Grand Junction High School and Fruita Monument High School students are rallying to raise funds for solar 

lamps which will be sent to entrepreneurs in India. Many people in India live off the grid (with no access to 

electricity) and, as a result, normally rely on dangerous and expensive kerosene as a source of light. Annually, 

1.3 million people die from this toxic air pollution and many impoverished families spend up to 30% of their 

income on dim, flammable, inefficient kerosene. Last year, students raised over $9,300 and sent 467 solar 

lamps to Kisumu County, Kenya through the organization ACE Development. We hope to surpass this amount 

this year! If you are interested in donating (monetary gifts or auction items) or volunteering your time to this 

cause, call senior Ellen Atkinson at 970-640-3806. 

National Honor Society 

National Honor Society Members – Check out the new information page we have on the school 

website. Look for “Clubs and Activities” under the “Departments” tab. Keep up-to-date by 

checking out the page, as well as checking us out on Facebook. Just “like” GJHS NHS 2012-2013.

radio, and print public service messages, plus a website, www.DecidetoDrive.org . The goal 

of the campaign is to affect behavior changes relating to driver distractions that pose a threat 

to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. Seniors Dylan Cruz and George Gromke will be 

working with other schools to present a 7 minute presentation to our student body, thru our advisory period. 

Stay tuned for more information on this presentation and this dangerous behavior that kills and maims hundreds 

people across our country every year.

Colorado Legacy Foundation AP Grant and Saturday Study Sessions 

According to the Colorado Legacy Foundation and the National Math and Science Initiative, 

one of the most effective strategies for schools and students participating in Advanced 

Placement Incentive and Training Programs is the Saturday Study Session. Students who 

participate in these study sessions are exposed to approximately 20 more hours of instruction 

by master teachers. They are also exposed to content and test taking strategies that have 

proven to be extremely beneficial to students taking the applicable Math, Science, and 

English (MSE) exams. Saturday Study Sessions scheduled for the remainder of the school 

year are listed below. Aim High! Aim for a 5! Attend the Saturday Study Sessions!

Junction High School Booster Club. The Booster Club donated over $60,500 last year to our Activities and

Internet Safety for Kids: A Parents Guide 

The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office & Crime Stoppers of Mesa County will present this free class on Tuesday, 

November 27, at 7:00 p.m. at the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office. This class will cover how internet predators 

target our local kids (with actual local cases), how parents can safeguard their kids on the internet, and what 

controls are available for parents. The presenters will be talking about what mistakes kids and teens have made 

in the past that exposed them to internet predators. The Sheriff’s Office is encouraging any parent who plans to 

attend to please let them know by email via the www.mesacountysafekids.com website so they can get a good 

estimate of how many class participants we may have. If the class gets too large, the Sheriff’s Department may 

move the class to Grand Junction High School. If this happens, the Sheriff’s Office will email those parents 

directly with this new information.
