First Annual Alumni Softball Game

GPCS is please to announce the first annual alumni co-ed softball game. We invite all alumni and former students to come together for a fun afternoon of competition and fellowship. Unlike other alumni games, this will not be a game between alumni and students. The two teams will be made up of former students, alumni, and their families. It is a chance for old friends to reunite and for new friendship to develop. Please RSVP to cspaulding@gpcsathletics.com and let us know if you and your family will be able to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
