GLPS Families,


Instead of a written message this week, I thought it would be a good time to send a quick video about why I am #proudtobeacomet on this homecoming Friday. As an alumni, a learner, and a leader, I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to continue to serve the entire Comet Country community. Thank you, as always, for your support and for giving us the opportunity to work with you and your children every day. Enjoy the festivities this evening, and have a wonderful weekend!


Dr. Bill Barnes
Superintendent of Schools
