Gretna East High School

We have two Griffin of the Week award winners this week! Congrats to Connor and Hailey Levinson! Hailey won this award due to her vocal leadership on the girl's basketball team which has been a big key to their success. She also has been fully committed to self-improvement as a player which has helped improve her teammate's play around her as well. Connor was given this award because of his leadership skills which are beyond what is expected for a sophomore! He is a strong vocal leader on the court and is a great teammate which has been a major part of the boy's basketball team's success this year. Congrats Hailey and Connor! #GoGriffs
