GV Schools Community News - 10/02/2026

Last Friday, students at Grain Valley High School participated in the annual color wars fundraiser. The rain couldn’t stop the fun for these students! 

Join us at Moody Murry Field for Homecoming on Friday, October 9th. Kickoff will be at 7:00 pm. Cash and card sales are not available at the gate, and all tickets should be purchased through Go Fan.

During the Grain Valley High School football game, the Grain Valley Education Foundation will host their annual Alumni Tent. This tent is open to all GVHS alumni and their families. Free hot dogs, chips, cookies, and drinks will be provided while supplies last. There will be space to sit and catch up with old friends or make new ones, all while cheering on the Eagles football team!

Grain Valley Schools is honored to induct several new alumni into the Grain Valley Hall of Fame. Brian Wilke (Class of 1976), Sara Wilke (Class of 2002),  Tyler Wilke (Class of 2003), Ethan Macoubrie (Class of 2018), and Hunter Newsome  (Class of 2021) have been chosen for this prestigious recognition and will be honored for their accomplishments during their time as Grain Valley students. The 2026 inductees will be recognized before kickoff at the homecoming game on Friday, October 9th.

The Bright Futures Community Support form connects Grain Valley students and families in need with available community resources. It also allows community members to support Grain Valley students in need. 

Bright Futures Grain Valley is a community network of committed partners working together to address the basic needs of any student – often within 24 hours. The Bright Futures model brings together businesses, faith-based organizations, civic organizations, local government, and parent groups for the benefit of the youth in our community. This enables students and teachers to focus on education and achieving success.

Earlier this week, the Grain Valley High School National Honor Society was named a Chapter of Distinction. The chapter was invited to apply for this distinction in the spring, and after an extensive review process, the GVHS chapter was selected! 

For students, maintaining the high school's NHS charter year after year ensures their membership remains recognized on the national roster. As inducted members market their leadership and academic success for colleges and scholarships, this distinction will set them apart.
