GT Titans Interscholastic Athletic Program
 
Grand Terrace Titans  Jr. All American Football & Cheer recognizes student athletes for their academic achievement.  We believe in achieving success not only on the football field, but also in the classroom.  Each year, Scholar Athlete patches are handed out to all players/cheerleaders  who receive a 3.0 or higher on their first six-week progress report.
