Best of Luck to Our State-Bound Wrestlers! Grady, Carter, and Ryder made the traditional walk through the halls of Galion High School in true Tiger style this morning! Students and staff cheered them on with a clap-out as the band played in celebration. In keeping with tradition, these athletes were treated to a police and fire escort off campus to send them on their way. We are so proud of these young men and their successful season thus far.
Stay tuned to the Tiger Athletic Facebook page for updates as they take on the state’s best. Go get ’em, Tigers!

The Tiger trait for March is Balanced. Our hope and goal for balance Tigers is that they make a conscious effort to prioritize and create equilibrium in personal, academic, and emotional demands. These efforts guide them to make healthy choices when dividing their time between academic responsibilities, friends, and family.
Maintaining balance through their ability to organize and self-regulate in daily life develops skills to confront feelings of overwhelmedness and stress as adults.
