Schedule of Santorum at Grosse Pointe South

Santorum will speak to Grosse Pointe South students beginning at 12:45 p.m. An after-school forum open to the community begins at 3:30 p.m. Those wishing to attend the after-school forum should not arrive to the school before 3:15 p.m.

Former elected official and presidential candidate Rick Santorum will address students and staff at Grosse Pointe South High School today after more than a week of intense scrutiny related to the decisions surrounding his appearance.

Santorum is slated to begin his speech on leadership and service in the gymnasium at 12:45 p.m. His speech is not open to the public but is only open to Grosse Pointe South students who have permission slips and to staff. 

The assembly is scheduled to continue until 2:45 p.m. and will include a question and answer session with questions from the students to Santorum. The questions were to be submitted to South's main office by the end of the school day Tuesday.
