Mrs. MacBeth Tireless Teacher

Congratulations to Mrs. MacBeth, our Tireless Teacher Award recipient!

Mrs. MacBeth is an outstanding Spanish teacher whose love for the Spanish language and culture shines through in every lesson. Her passion is contagious, and she creates authentic learning opportunities that make Spanish meaningful, engaging, and fun. Students genuinely enjoy learning in her classroom because they know she believes in them and cares about their success.

Her impact extends well beyond the classroom. As a co-advisor of Student Council, Mrs. MacBeth works tirelessly to plan this year’s Homecoming activities while empowering the next generation of student leaders. She also generously gives her time to support students and can regularly be found attending events after school.

Mrs. MacBeth’s energy, dedication, and commitment to our students embody the spirit of the Tireless Teacher Award. Thank you, Mrs. MacBeth, for everything you do for Goodrich High School!

141 TOYS & COUNTLESS SMILES

What an incredible night for Goodrich! 

Last night, our community came together and donated 141 brand-new toys to Chip in Fore Children! Along with the toys, we also received generous cash donations that will be used to purchase even more toys for local children.

We are so incredibly thankful to everyone who donated, attended the game, and helped make this event such a success. Your generosity is going to bring smiles to so many kids this holiday season!

A HUGE thank you to our amazing soccer parents who helped collect donations, organize everything, and manage the halftime contest chaos — in the rain! You jumped in wherever you were needed, and this event truly couldn’t have happened without you!

And of course, thank you to our Goodrich Boys Soccer team and Goodrich Girls Golf Program for teaming up to make a difference in our community.

141 toys collected. More toys still to come. One incredible community.

Thank you, Goodrich, for showing what it means to Play for a Brighter Tomorrow!
