Welcome!
The Griffin Post is GATE's student newspaper, and we're glad to have you reading! We publish twice a month, and we cover topics ranging from history to sports. We are looking forward to another great year of writers, and as the editor, I'm excited to see what we can do! Hope you enjoy!
The Griffin Post is excited to announce their first art contest of the year! The theme is soon to be decided, and the deadline is November 28th. Our two writers for Color Outside the Lines will pick the top five and top vote will pick the winner, who will receive a prize.
We also need your help for Debate topics, Dear GP questions and Words of Wisdom advice columns. Be sure to contribute, we love hearing your ideas.
Congratulations to our Team of 2026-2027! Because of our large numbers of club members this year, we will have all the eighth graders come on the first week, and then our sixth and seventh graders the following week. Our first articles are published and we can't wait for you to read them!
