Wrestling and Indoor Track at Sectionals

Excerpt from Keith Harrington, Border Country Sports, NYVT Media

In their initial season as a merged program, the Granville-Whitehall wrestling team excelled at the Section II Wrestling Championships this weekend. Both the boy’s and girls’ teams had wrestlers place at their respective events.

The G-W boys finished second at the Class C championships and crowned four champions. Six wrestlers from the Hammers reached the finals.

Cobleskill claimed the team title with 217 points. G-W finished with 202 1/2 and Corinth with 175 1/2.

Nathan Barber (145), Jaxon Torres (170), Brandon Beaver (190), and CJ Monty (215) all claimed sectional titles in their weight classes for the Hammers.

At the girl’s Division II championships held on Friday [the 7th], Granville-Whitehall had one wrestler finish as the runner-up, while Salem-Cambridge rolled to the championship. Hadley-Luzerne and Warrensburg also came home with champions.

For the Hammers, Jaymie Landon finished second at 145 pounds. Landon won by fall over Runa Karle of Greenville in 17 seconds in the semifinals. Landon fell to Vivienne Myers of Cairo-Durham by fall in 2:27 in the title match.

Madelaine Wilson placed fourth at 138 for the Hammers. Gracie Hall (107) and Carriella Phillips (120) finished fifth for G-W.

The Jr/Sr High Jazz Band Visited MJT and GES Today

Thank you to Chorus Teacher Mr. Cerullo, Band Director Mrs. Stout and GES Music Director Mr. Tuttle for helping bring our Jazz Band to interact and play for our littles at MJT and GES.

Here is a snippet of the MJT visit on our Facebook page.

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

Granville CSD has many ways to support your student with future planning.

Junior High

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.

High School

In 9th Grade, families 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.)

In 11th grade, we have FREE Early College and Career Academy (ECCA)that will allow students to earn a two-year college degree in a variety of programs while in high school.

BOCES offers FREE 17 professional trade training programs that lead to good paying, in-demand jobs.

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

Funding Vocational School and College

There are local, state and national grants and scholarships (money you do not have to give back) for all kinds of programs - from the trades, to local workforce, to college. Check out this free 2-year to 5-year college-tuition scholarship for NYS families earning under 125K. Ask Guidance for the latest Scholarships.

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.
