Grayling High School is an award-winning school that has been continuously honored as a top high school in northern Michigan. With a 9-12 enrollment of around 500 students, GHS is a "perfect-sized" high school -- that is, we are big enough to offer diverse options yet small enough to give our students personalized attention.
We work hard to prepare our students to be college and career ready. We offer a variety of programs to help our students explore their lifetime opportunities. Along with rigorous core classes, GHS also offers a rich variety of elective classes based on student interest, 11 AP® classes, fine arts electives and numerous athletic/fitness programs. Career and technical education courses are offered in partnership with Wexford-Missaukee ISD to provide GHS students with more opportunities to develop their interests and skills.
The experienced staff at GHS is dedicated to creating positive relationships with students, families and the community. We strive to recognize students as individuals and to provide educational programs to fit their goals.
The current site of Grayling High School was established in 1973 and was renovated in 2004 and in 2017. We are on a trimester schedule, and our school days run from 8:10 a.m. to 2:53 p.m.
