Grand View Christian High School is proud to announce that we will be participating in Iowa High School Speech Association this year. For those of you unfamiliar with the organization, it is a speech competition in which there are many small teams that are judged in various categories. Categories include different styles of performing arts such as improvisation, filming, broadcasting, musical theatre, acting and many others. We as a school are beginning to drum up interest among the high school student body and our first interest meeting for parents and students will be in October before the season begins. We're really excited about the opportunities that being a part of IHSSA gives to our students and we're looking forward to another way to spread the news of the Gospel in our community and doing so with excellence in our performances.

A message from our Scrip Coordinators:
"GVCS Administration has approved for us to implement a 90/10 rebate split starting September 1st! This means even more savings that can be applied to your tuition statement or registration! All rebates earned prior to 9/1 will still be subject to the 80/20. When you request payout next, you may receive 2 reports to calculate your credit - one from your last payout through 8/31/2020 showing the 80/20 split and one from 9/1/2020 to the new payout date showing the 90/10 split."
