Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School (abbreviated as G-E-T, and formerly Galesville High School and Gale-Ettrick High School) is a public high school in Galesville, Wisconsin. It educates students in grades 9 through 12 and is the only high school in the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District.
A high school in the city of Galesville, Wisconsin opened in 1902.[2] Trempealeau County government ordered the creation of a joint school district covering Galesville, Ettrick, Gale, the town of Ettrick and the town of Trempealeau at the beginning of 1949, to take effect on June 30, 1949.[3] An influx of new students created an overcrowding condition at the school; a 1951 referendum for a new building failed.[4] A 1952 referendum passed.[5] Construction for the then-Gale-Ettrick High School commenced in September 1953.[6] In 1971, Healy Memorial High School in Trempealeau was consolidated into the Gale-Ettrick, and the school was renamed Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau.[7]
The school went away from its Redmen nickname for athletic teams in May 2010; a new name of Red Hawks was later chosen.[8]
Advanced Placement classes are offered at Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau.[9]
The Red Hawk athletic teams compete in the Coulee Conference. The boys golf team won a Division Two state championship in 1994.[10]
G-E-T has two competitive a cappella groups, "Vocal Point" and "Out of the Blue."[11] Vocal Point took third place in the 2017 International Championship of High School A Cappella Finals.[12]
