2019 Talent Show

In May 2019, Grafton High School was scheduled to host a talent show. Unfortunately, due to low interest and support, the event was ultimately canceled. Despite efforts to promote the talent show and encourage participation, organizers were unable to generate enough enthusiasm from the student body and community to make the event viable. However, Grafton High School remains committed to providing engaging extracurricular opportunities for its students and looks forward to exploring new ways to showcase their talents in the future.
