Grand Island High School AP Statistics students earned a first and third place overall at the first annual UB Statistics competition, held in late May. The teams were judged based on poster design, use of statistical methods, clarity of the message and creativity of the project. The team of Nicholas Carey and Natalie Turck took first place with "ICE ICE Baby", where they analyzed the number of illegal immigrants apprehended at the Southwest border and the cost of border security. "Team Alright" earned third place honors for William Soos, Christian Whetham, Brady Hofmeyer and Kassidy Taylor. That project examined the efforts their community is making with regrads to global warming. GIHS faculty member Natalie Gallagher was advisor to the teams.

Grand Island High School promoted a safe and fun prom through day long activities this past Friday, May 31st. The day began with a presentation to the senior class by Officer Tom Franz, fellow classmates, and Mercy Flight. The message to the students was clear; to make good choices and stay safe during this busy prom/graduation season. The visit by Mercy Flight was an added bonus and the students observed their landing and questions were answered regarding their important role in live saving all over WNY.Prom was then hosted at the Foundry on Elmwood and students danced the night away. After prom, it was back to the high school where teachers and parents hosted a post prom celebration with entertainment and prizes till the wee hours of the morning. These events were made possible by an immense amount of time and effort in raising funds to keep our students in a safe and responsible atmosphere.
Many thanks to advisors Eileen Briceland, Ameila Scinta, Mandy Myers and Cheryl Chamberlain (prom coordinators) and Melissa Kosmoski and Bob Simpson (post prom leaders). The PSTA, parents, support staff and local business are at the heart of post prom and did an awesome job. With less than a month till graduation, the senior class looks forward to their exciting future.
