In the 2023 State Unified Track and Field Meet, Glendale students qualified for four events: 100m Run, Long Jump, Shot Put and Turbo Javelin.

Choir Concert May 17th.

Ms. Spaulding was recognized by the Maricopa County Superintendent, Steve Watson, for Teacher Appreciation Week. Ms. Spaulding was nominated by GHS Band Director Ms. Julie Trent for being an outstanding teacher who is always available to her students. We appreciate her commitment to Glendale and all that she does for her students.

Team NGnerds (Jayden Widner, Dania Garduno Bustos, and Alan Lugo) participated in 2023 MATE ROV Arizona Regional on May 6. This competition is commonly known as underwater robotics. Team NGnerds bested 18 other teams and took 1st place. The team orally and with a poster presented the engineering that went into making their ROV (remotely operated vehicle) and ran two 12-min product demonstrations where the ROV had to do various tasks like retrieving a water sample and temperature probe float. This is the two consecutive years GHS has taken the top prize. Mrs. Hernandez, Mr. King and I (robotics mentors) are very proud of these students. GHS science club has been sponsoring underwater robotics teams since 2018.

Special Thanks To:

Mrs. Hernandez: She takes care of everything the team and mentors need in addition to mentoring the robotics team.
Mr. King: He mentors and cheers on these kids.
Mr. Mager and Ms. Gaur: Thanks for helping with the engineering poster.
Ms. Gaur and Ms. Patton: Thanks for getting all the paperwork straight for kids so they can attend the regional.

All are invited to the end of year band concert on May 11 (next Thursday) in the auditorium. The concert begins at 7 PM. Admission is FREE. We will announce the prestigious John Philip Sousa Award during the concert.

The Glendale band played on stage in Crowder Hall at the Fred Fox School of Music on Friday, April 28. Our students performed and rehearsed in a concert band clinic conducted by Dr. Chad Nicholson, director of bands at the University of Arizona. Junior saxophonist, Ruby Romero, performed a solo on the big podium and was given a chance to conduct the band under the direction of Dr. Nicholson. Our students also toured part of the Tucson campus and dined in the student union. Everyone had a great musical experience and explored future college options. Way to go Cardinals!

During Glendale's PIC your Path Photobooth, some of our top students took pictures to share their college plans. Mrs. Scott and Mr. Fears timed it just right to get a picture with two of our Questbridge finalist.

Jada Finesilver received early admission to Stanford University through Questbridge National Match and will receive a full four-year scholarship worth over $200,000! In addition, Jada was awarded The Gates Scholarship, a highly selective scholarship that will cover all remaining costs of attendance, as well as career services, leadership development and mentoring.

Manouny Ouatara and Diana Mata were also Questbridge Finalists who will be attending Notre Dame and University of Southern California respectively through generous financial aid packages and hard-earned scholarships.

GHS hosted The annual Jazz & Pie concert! The outdoor concert event featured Glendale High School Jazz Band and Vocal Ensemble, Moon Valley Jazz Band and Independence Vocal Ensemble. Audience members were treated to an evening of excellent Jazz music while they enjoyed pie and refreshing drinks in our beloved Heatwole Plaza.

Miss Abramovich's 1st and 2nd hour Geometry classes participated in a Math Scavenger hunt this morning. They had to solve a problem to get a clue to their next location. Then they had to find the next problem and solve it for the next clue. Each class had two teams that solved 5 problems and the first team back to the class got first pick at doughnuts. Students had fun and did Math at the same time!!

A recent Diamondbacks game featured The National Anthem performed by GUHSD choirs.

These students powered through TWO power outages, and still pulled off an amazing performance of TINK. We had the first power outage on Thursday, and another happened during the show on our Saturday Matinee once we started Act Two (luckily that one was only 5-10 minutes long). To say I am proud would be an understatement. These kids shined on that stage!

GUHSD Band Night at the Arizona Diamondbacks game was fun for everyone! Congratulations to the band members from Glendale, Washington, Moon Valley, and Thunderbird on a great performance! Thanks to our teachers for coming to the game to support the band - GO CARDINALS!.

As part of a grant awarded to Ms. Trent and the music program, our Choir and Piano students had to opportunity to explore the one-of-a-kind Musical Instrument Museum! Students learned about instruments from all over the world, how they are used in different cultures and even got to play some of those instruments in the experience gallery.

Sophomore student council hosted a Peter Piper fund raiser for future prom.

Vocal Ensemble was invited to perform for a groundbreaking ceremony for a new Affordable Housing development being built nearby. Before their performance, they were given a special introduction to Governor Katie Hobbs, Mayor Jerry Weiers and other City of Glendale Council Members.
