It is with great pleasure that I welcome you and your students to the 2024-2025 school year. We eagerly welcome our new and returning families to Galena High School. Our school is an extraordinary place where we are committed to working collaboratively with each other, our parents and members of the Galena community. Our staff works diligently to maintain high expectations and educational standards. We are charged with the responsibility of preparing all students for college and careers by the end of high school. Our goal is to teach students to read and think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, and utilize technology in relevant ways. We have been working hard on continuing to create a curriculum that is rigorous to challenge and prepare our students for the 21st century.
It is a great honor to be able to serve the students, parents, and the Galena community. Junior High and High School present opportunities to create tremendous memories. I encourage all students of Galena to get involved in any of the various activities that are available. I would also like to encourage all parents and community members to continue to be active participants in Galena High School and all it has to offer our students.
The vision of Galena High School is for 100% of our students to discover their personal passions and be empowered and prepared to pursue those passions after graduation through employment, education or enlistment.
I am looking forward to an outstanding school year! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call or stop by the high school office and we would be glad to assist in any way we can.
Respectfully,
Dr. Bob Baker, Principal
