TRI-M Music Honor Society
We have a music honor society that is nationally recognized for students who maintain all A's and B's in music classes and grades of C or better in all classes at GHS.
These music students have been carefully selected on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Scholarship represents scholastic achievement and open-mindedness toward knowledge and truth. Character emphasizes a devotion to high ideals and recognizes no barriers between people of diverse backgrounds. Leadership guides us to greater undertakings, and service encourages assistance and kindness to others.

Members with eight semesters in band/orchestra, an A average in all music courses, and a minimum 3.0 GPA will receive graduation regalia (stole or cords).
Members with at least two semesters in band/orchestra, including the full senior year, a B average in all music courses, and minimum 2.0 GPA can receive honor cords.
The stoles are white with the red Tri-M logo and the cords are the color for music majors: pink.
