The Silver Streak athletic program provides students a chance to compete in a variety of sports. Currently, GHS offers 10 boys sports and 10 girls sports.

GHS athletes are challenged to succeed both on the playing field and in the classroom as the school maintains one of the highest academic standards in the Western Big 6 Conference.



Coach John Chapman taught GHS athletes more than wrestling
    It came as a shock to the whole Silver Streak community when Coach John W. Chapman died suddenly in Davenport on Saturday, July 24th.
    Chapman, 41, had been the head coach of the GHS wrestling program the past 11 years. He is survived by his wife GHS girls track and cross country coach Jody Chapman and two children.
    Chapman, who was inducted into both the GHS and Monmouth College Athletic Hall of Fames, was loved and respected by the athletes he worked with.

    There will be a visitation for the public at the Hinchliff-Pearson-West Galesburg Chapel  from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 28th, with the family present from 5 to 8 p.m. A prayer service will be held at 8 p.m.
    The funeral service will be held at 10 a.m., Thursday, July 29th at 10 a.m. at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Galesburg.
