It’s that time of year again. Come out to the fairgrounds to watch the Elma High School Class of 2017 graduate. Watch as the tassels move side to side and the hats come off! We’ll see you there!
We’ve all seen would-be beautiful spaces choked by a field of invasive plants, whether they be Scotch Broom, blackberry thickets, tansy, thistles, reed canary grass, knotweed…. you get the picture. But what is our local government doing about it, and how can we help? Join Nancy Ness, coordinator for the Grays Harbor County Noxious Weed Board on an exploratory workshop on invasive control methods in use by our local governments. Prepare for the weather with rain gear, boots, or sunscreen as needed.
The celebration is for anyone earning a GED between July 2016 and now who took the GED tests at the College. Those interested in participating should contact the Transitions office at 360-538-4167 as soon as possible.
Not only does the event acknowledge those who have successfully passed the GED test, but also those who have earned their high school diplomas through GHC’s High School 21+ program. Tickets are not required for the ceremony.
Current college and graduate school students, who graduated from a Grays Harbor County high school, are encouraged to seek financial assistance for their education by applying for the E. K. and Lillian F. Bishop Foundation scholarships.

Join us for our July Community Education Dinner! The topic is Advance Care Planning. Our speaker, Mary Ellen Biggerstaff, DNP, is a primary care provider at Summit Pacific Healthcare Clinic in Elma. Mary Ellen will be speaking about the importance of having our medical wishes known with those we love throughout all stages of our lives.
An Advance Directive is a written statement of your wishes regarding medical treatment, often including a living will, made to ensure those wishes are carried out should you be unable to communicate them. Advance Directives also ensure that your loved ones are not burdened with making stressful decisions.
