We are excited that we are able to do the Ski & Snowboard Club again this year.

Winter is coming!

Ski & Snowboard Club does have a fee, but we do have a scholarship/reimbursement program if you qualify. Ask Mrs. Zinn about this: azinn@granvillecsd.org

You do not need to know how to ski! Lessons are available on the mountain and co-Advisor and parent Drew Rozell can offer pointers.

This is a great way for students to meet other students as grades 7 - 12 are welcome.

Mountain Registration

Club Participants will have to register themselves on West Mountain’s Website:

After you are registered, new club members receive $100 to spend on apparel.

"Time for a Chad Monty Jr. appreciation post. 👏🏻

The Granville/Whitehall senior running back may not be a household name in Section 2, but he should be.

After last night’s 4-TD performance against Mechanicville, Monty Jr. is up to 15 rushing scores on the season. He’s averaging 3 per game, and has 35 over the last two seasons to go along with 2,000+ rushing yards.

It was a tough start to the season for G-W, having to play Fonda-Fultonville and Schuylerville - two teams ranked in the top-10 in the state for Class C - in the first four weeks. But this is not a squad you wanna see in sectionals, and #35 is the main reason for that.

Highlights from last night’s game with Mechanicville, as well as 8 other games from across Section 2, can be found on our website. Just head over to the “Local Sports” tab; link in bio!The Granville/Whitehall senior running back may not be a household name in Section 2, but he should be.

Career Planning

Grades 7-12 is an important time to start talking about what happens after high school with your student.

In 8th grade, families can apply for P-TECH, a free program that begins in 9th grade and leads to a FREE two-year college degree in one of two in-demand technology careers: Advanced Manufacturing or Computer Networking and Cybersecurity.

In 9th Grade, families who qualify can apply for the FREE TRIO Upward Bound program to mentor your student through high school (be ready to apply early in the 9th grade school year.) This program's federal funding has been cancelled as per 9/30/25. Here is the link to read the SUNY ADK update.

In 10th grade, students can apply for BOCES which offers FREE 17 professional trade training programs that lead to good paying, in-demand jobs.

Students can take college level classes and we have FREE Early College and Career Academy (ECCA) to earn a two-year college degree in a variety of programs -- all while in high school.

We have Syracuse University Advance Project (SUPA) classes to gain college credit while in high school. A huge savings!

Funding Vocational School and College

Check out this free 2-year to 5-year college-tuition scholarship for NYS families earning under 125K. Guidance has the latest information about Scholarships, apprenticeships, college and more.

Vermont students who graduate from Granville can also receive in-state SUNY tuition.

It all starts with getting to school on time and being curious about the opportunities available, while you're in school.

Talk to your guidance counselor to discuss how to get started.
