And just like that, the final note of the season has been played.
Watching this orchestra grow throughout the year has been nothing short of beautiful — from the first rehearsals to tonight's performance, the dedication, heart, and music these musicians bring is truly something special.
So proud of everything they've accomplished this year. Here's to the journey, the growth, and all the music still to come.

As we approach the spring season filled with celebrations, including prom and graduation, Goddard Public Schools, in partnership with local law enforcement and first responders, will be hosting two mock driving under the influence (DUI) safety exercises at the high schools next week. These events are designed to provide students with a powerful, real-world understanding of the dangers and consequences of impaired driving, and reinforce the importance of making safe and responsible choices.

Event Details:

Goddard High School (GHS)
Monday, April 13th
1:00 - 1:30 p.m.
Goddard High School Parking Lot

Eisenhower High School (EHS)
Thursday, April 16th
10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Eisenhower High School Parking Lot

During these times, community members in the area may notice a significant presence of emergency vehicles, including police, fire, and other first responders, with active lights and sirens. This activity is part of a planned simulation and training exercise.

We want to reassure our community that these events are fully coordinated, controlled, and focused on student education. There is no active emergency, and students and staff are not in any danger. We’d like to additionally take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all of the agencies involved in bringing this experience to our school communities:

D.U.I Victims Center of Kansas
Garden Plain Police Department
Kansas Highway Patrol
Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department
Sedgwick County Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Wichita Fire Department
Wichita State University Police
USD 265 School Police
USD 265 Transportation

We appreciate your understanding and support as we work together with our community partners to provide meaningful learning experiences that help keep our students safe. Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting the well-being of our students and schools!
