GHHSAA serves Alumni and Grandview Schools in numerous ways. From scholarships to the Athletic Hall of Fame to Distinguished Alumni awards, we strive to recognize and honor many graduates for their achievements both during their school years and beyond.

GHHSAA community action doesn't stop with award ceremonies. We try to fill the gap when school funding is short for extra-curricular programs and we donate time, resources and funds to the community. We support our sister organizations such as the PTO and Bobcat Boosters through promotional and cooperative efforts.
