GCHS Marching Band will not be performing at the football game tonight due to an unexpected family emergency. We look forward to them leading Ram Fans' school spirit at the next home game. Go Rams!
🏈❤️🖤 FIRST HOME FOOTBALL GAME! 🖤❤️🏈
We’re excited to welcome our Ram family to the first home football game of the season! Let’s pack the stands, cheer LOUD, and show our Rams what Ram Pride looks like! 🐏
A few reminders for our fans:
📣 Stay in the stands –Students should be watching the game and cheering for our Rams, not playing behind or underneath the bleachers, roughhousing, or playing football.
🏈 No balls, please – Balls should not be brought to the game to play with. This is a safety concern.
👏 Show good sportsmanship – Be loud and proud for our Rams while showing respect to our opponents, officials, coaches, and fellow fans.
📍 Stay in your designated area – Students need to remain where they are supposed to be during the game.
👨👩👧 Follow expectations – Students who are unable to follow these expectations will be asked to sit with their parent/guardian or may be asked to leave the game.
Let’s make our home games a place where our athletes feel supported and our entire school community can have fun together!
BE LOUD. BE PROUD. BE RESPECTFUL.

🎉 2026–2027 Greene County Career Camps are OPEN for registration! 🎉
We are excited to bring Career Camps back for another year! These hands-on learning opportunities are made possible through our partnership with Greene County 4-H 🧑🔬🧑🍳🔧🎨
📚 How Career Camps work:
• The first camp of each month is for youth in grades 1–3
• The second camp of each month is for youth in grades 4–8
• NEW this year: If there is only one camp offered that month, it will be open to grades 1–8
• 💰 Cost: $10 per camp
• 🚌 Transportation is available from Greene County Elementary and Middle School to the Career Academy
📩 To register: Email Samantha at hardaway@iastate.edu
There are no registration limits for youth, but we encourage families to think about what their child would be most interested in rather than registering for every camp. This helps ensure that as many Greene County youth as possible have the opportunity to participate and explore new careers! 💚
We can't wait for another great year of exploring careers, learning new skills, and discovering what the Greene County Career Academy has to offer! 🌟
