Jammin’ With Samie!
Samie Avila, Podcast • June 9, 2024

GHS Senior (2024) Samantha Avila reviews Radiohead's 2007 album "In Rainbows". Listen along as Samie breaks down what makes this album so special.

 “From my time here at GHS, I haven't noticed enforcement regarding environmental concerns. In my opinion more could be done for example, reusable plates for lunch or simply adding more trash cans on campus that separate recyclables and nonrecyclables.”

Dana Nguyen, President of Key Club
