HHS Senior Walk
Hampshire High School's graduating seniors visited Gary D. Wright Elementary School as part of the District 300 Senior Walk event. This is a special class, as they were fifth graders my first year as the Principal of Gary D. Wright Elementary School in the 2015-2016 school year. The students below were all GDW Wildcats who now belong to the Hampshire High School graduating Class of 2023. Congratulations, Hampshire High School Class of 2023! Thank you for serving as role models for our GDW Wildcats! All my best to you!

PTO Mystery Night
The GDW PTO's Mystery Night was an incredible event! We enjoyed delicious treats and were intrigued by many characters introduced to us as we needed to use clues provided throughout the night to determine who stole a precious jewel. Thank you, PTO for another fun event and a novel idea!
Fifth Grade Wax Museum
As a culmination of their biography research, GDW's Fifth Graders dressed up and put their learning on display by creating a Wax Museum. Our students, staff, and families visited the museum throughout the afternoon. The fifth graders did such an incredible job on this project! Way to go, Wildcats!
