REMINDER: There is no school on Friday, September 29th for students.

UPDATE: Power has been completely restored at Germantown High School and MacArthur Elementary.

GSD Parents and Guardians, Germantown High School and MacArthur Elementary are currently experiencing power outages due to a downed transformer within the Village. The school day is currently functioning as usual, with lunches being served and bathrooms accessible to all. We will continue to work with We Energies and update you on any changes. As it stands now, we will continue with a full school day. We Energies is expecting full power by 1:30 p.m. Thank you, Germantown School District

Dear Germantown School District Families, We are writing to alert you of a situation that came to our attention this morning. A citizen vehicle was reported parked on Friestadt Rd, and suspicious behavior was reported to the Germantown Police Department. The Germantown Police Department advised both Kennedy Middle School and MacArthur Elementary to go into a HOLD as a precaution at this time. The HOLD will be in place until GTPD gives us the green light to resume classes as scheduled. GTPD Officers are in the area actively investigating the report.  We want to assure our families that every precaution is being taken to ensure the school is safe for students and staff. While the GTPD investigates this matter, we ask that you do not drive to your child’s school, as the buildings are on HOLD.  We will provide an update when GTPD provides us with more information.  Sincerely, Dr. Chris Reuter Germantown School District Superintendent

Marching Band Madness — Saturday, September 9 Four marching bands. Four performances. One night to shine! Warhawk Band Boosters presents Marching Band Madness on Saturday, September 9, at GHS’s Datka Stadium. The program featuring four area high school marching bands will begin at 7pm; gates open at 6pm. Student tickets are $6. This noncompetitive invitational is a great opportunity for the bands to perform in front of a large audience before the competitive marching season begins. Come enjoy the show!

Freshman Tailgate! This past Friday, GHS hosted its annual Freshman Tailgate fun before the football game. Students and staff enjoyed great food, games, a raffle, and performances by the GTown Marching Band and Poms and Dance Team. Welcome Class of 2027!
