Congratulations to our senior athletes as they take the next step in their journeys, continuing their athletic and academic careers at the collegiate level this fall. We are incredibly proud of all the hard work, dedication, and perseverance they have shown throughout their time as Wildcats.
Today’s signing marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and we are thrilled to celebrate their accomplishments and future opportunities. We wish each of them continued success both on the field and in the classroom as they represent our Wildcat family at the next level.
Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!
The Baccalaureate Service for Greenwood's Class of 2026 will move to New Harvest Community Church on Wednesday, May 27th, at 6:00 PM. *This is a change from the original schedule sent to senior parents and students earlier this month.
The 8th grade class traveled to Washington, DC where they saw artifacts from World War II and the Holocaust at the National Museum of American History and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. They were even able to speak to a Holocaust survivor before leaving the museum. The experiences truly brought their class lessons to life.
Two of our elementary students were recently honored at the Stock Market Challenge Banquet held at Central Penn College. Liam Haines placed second in the region, while Jacob Varner earned third place. Out of more than 10,500 students who participated in the 2025–2026 sessions, 80 students were awarded in the region. This is an incredible accomplishment! We are so proud of your hard work, dedication, and outstanding achievement!🎉
