All students, faculty and staff will have their yearbook photos taken next Wednesday, Sept. 24. Seniors have already posed for their pictures and are not included in this photo shoot. Students should wear nice, school-appropriate clothes and have their hair fixed they way they want it to appear in the yearbook.
Elementary grades will shoot in the following order: 3, 4, pre-k, 1, 2, 5, 6. Junior high will follow and high school will shoot last. Administration, staff and faculty may sit any time during the shoot as their schedule permits.
Everyone will receive proofs and the opportunity to purchase pictures in about six weeks.

Friends and Families of GHS,

Glencoe High School Career Day 2025 is planned for October 14, 2025. We would like to invite you to share your knowledge and talents with our student body.

The Forensic Science class practiced their skills by documenting a mock crime scene. They took photographs, measured the scene, wrote notes,and made rough sketches of the scene of the victim Mr. Speer. Forensic Science teacher is Cathy Pilkington.

The Art Appreciation class rounded out their unit of Egyptian Art with custom made pyramids. Some students used wood, cardboard, or legos. Other students crafted their pyramids from food that were tasty.

We are so excited to have been awarded a $1,194.60 OK Community Cares grant to upgrade our PE equipment and be able to purchase a storage building to house everything.

Volunteers needed! Thank you in advance if you can spare a few mnutes to help out.

All 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students have the opportunity to attend the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma event - Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention - in Cushing on Tuesday. This is a great opportunity for students to learn about overcoming adversity, making positive choices, inspiring hope, breaking stigma, and having open conversations about mental health for themselves and others.

Students will be provided a sack lunch, unless they would like to bring their own lunch. If you do not want your student to attend this event, please contact Jennifer Speer at jspeer@glencoe.k12.ok.us or call the high school at 580-669-2261.

Below, long-time Glencoe HS principal and coach Chad Speer reacts to seeing that the 2025 yearbook has been dedicated to him during baseball this past weekend. Editor of the 2026 yearbook, junior Beth Sloan, presented a copy of the book to "Coach" during the first game of the Chad Speer Baseball Classic. The Panthers hosted five area teams in the event which guarantees three games for each team and raises money for ALS research.
Bryan Brady, yearbook sponsor said, "Savanna Clark (GHS class of '25 and 2025 Panther Tales editor) and I decided on the dedication after Coach Speer retired last year. We thought the time was right. I don't think a recent yearbook has been dedicated to one individual and it may be years before we do it again. We want it to be an honor and a very special one at that."

2025 Chad Speer Classic Tournament Day 2 games are 3:00, 5:00, and 7:00
