"G" Its Meaning

The letter on Little Mountain answers to the school's old name. In 1920, Pleasant Grove High's students — then the Grovarians — chose to set their emblem on the mountainside instead of the schoolhouse, hauling rock off the Battle Creek and Grove Creek slopes to lay out a G. The town kept an annual G Day to whitewash it, and when a 1978 push to clear the slope nearly erased the letter, residents airlifted in concrete to make it permanent. A full rebuild in 2023 fixed the G in place for its second century.
