Brittany brought energy to everything she did as a student at GHS. She was involved in a variety of activities while at GHS. Brittany was one of those students who made the school a better place with her involvement, enthusiasm, and leadership.

Galesburg Library Foundation- Shares Why & How I Blog
The Galesburg Public Library is absolutely wonderful. Obviously I enjoy working their archives with old newspapers and GHS Reflectors.
It is always such an active place. The other day there were 20 children attending a program, people reading, some doing puzzles, others on computers reading news, and a woman doing quilting. There are so many options available to people at the Galesburg Public Library.

Susan Richardson- Escaped Slave in Galesburg
Throughout history there have been many tragic stories. Often we “cushion” the horror of some stories by not attaching people’s names. When we talk about war, we can say a “soldier died,” rather than saying “William Allen died.”
Most of us since grade school have had lessons about slavery. Seldom are slaves referred to by name. In Galesburg, when we think about and talk about slavery, we can attach a name. All of us should become familiar with the tragic story of Susan Richardson.
