All families are encouraged to take part in grade-level and campus-sponsored tailgates.

Our homecoming tailgate includes a BBQ food truck and games for younger kids.
Tailgate Info (All Grade Levels):
All grade levels will have designated areas for their grades (similar to past years). We encourage families who would like to participate in their grade level tailgating to bring tents, chairs, and decorations (tables will be provided). Some grade levels may also plan food sign-up opportunities (visit your class Facebook page, class GroupMe, or check emails to see if your class is participating in bringing items or food). However, we will have food available for purchase if your class is not bringing food.
GCS Alumni Families:
We are excited to have a GCS Alumni tailgate for all former students and alumni parents this year! Don’t miss this opportunity to see old friends, teachers, and coaches at Homecoming 2026! Please click here to RSVP BY SEPTEMBER 25TH so we can ensure an accurate food count for everyone.
