Interested in Testing Out of a Course?
Grand Ledge High School offers students a testing out process once a year over the summer months. Students may choose to test out of an MMC required course to further their scheduling options throughout their years of high school. This means a student can earn credit for a course without taking the class, as long as they can show they already understand the content. Students register to test out of a course they believe they have already mastered. Students must exhibit mastery of the course content by attaining a grade of at least 78%, C+ on a comprehensive final assessment/paper/lab as required for individual courses. Credits earned through the test out process will count towards graduation. Read more...
District Wide Art Show
Please join us in celebrating the incredible student artists of Grand Ledge Public Schools! Our district-wide art show showcases creative work from students in grades BK–12. The exhibit will be on display throughout the entire month of May in the auditorium lobby at Grand Ledge High School. It will be open to the public during after-school event hours.
Saturday School Dates for 3rd Trimester
Attendance Matters - what is Saturday School at GLHS and when might a student need to attend? Attendance is an essential component to a student's academic success. Often, the number of days that students are absent accumulate without them realizing how name days have been missed.
If a student reaches 7 absences in any class per trimester without documentation, they may lose credit and the privilege to participate in extracurricular activities, including school dances. The student would then be encouraged to attend Saturday School with our Deans of Students to work on school assignments to ensure credit.
Saturday School runs from 8:00am – 11:00am in the Media Center. The remaining dates for 3rd Trimester Saturday School at GLHS are:
May 16 (last SS for seniors)
May 30 (last SS for 9th/10th/11th grade students)
Comet Prides Program - FREE after school tutoring for ALL high school students
The Comet PRIDES Program (Positively Reaching Individuals Delivering Extra Support) is a free after school tutoring opportunity available to all high school students (even virtual) for working on homework, missing assignments, taking or retaking tests/quizzes, making test corrections etc. The Comet PRIDES Program is every Tuesday & Thursday from 2:55 - 3:55pm in the cafeteria.
2026-2027 School Year
The Board of Education approved the school calendar for next school year. Here is the 2026-2027 GLPS District Calendar! It is a 2-page pdf. The first page provides a visual overview, and the second page lists the specifics. We hope this is helpful in your planning.
Please note - Orientation Days for the high school are scheduled for August 17th and August 18th. It will be similar to years past, however, August 18th from 8am-11am is our GLPS / All Staff District Kickoff at the high school. The Main Office, Student Services, the New Gym downstairs, and the Auditorium will be closed at that time to allow for our meetings.

Educational Development Plans (EDPs)
Grand Ledge Public Schools utilizes Xello, a comprehensive K-12 platform that prepares students for the modern economy. Through interactive activities, students build self-awareness, explore diverse career options, and develop the critical skills needed to succeed in the 21st century.
Xello is the platform students use to build and update their Educational Development Plan (EDP). This "living document" is a requirement of the Michigan Career Development Model (MCDM) and serves as a personalized roadmap for their academic and career future.
Student ownership is the goal, but family support is the foundation. We encourage you to talk to your students about their Educational Development Plan (EDP) and how they are using Xello to prepare for their future. Parents/Guardians can utilize a Xello Family Account to stay connected. Click the link below to learn more, and reach out to Mrs. Dykstra at dykstrak@glcomets.net to set up a Xello Family account.

This event is only for students that have been accepted into a class at the CPC that is taught at LCC for fall 2026.
