Attention 9th, 10th and 11th grade students and parents: GHS will host a Curriculum Night on February 8th from 5-8PM. We will host open panel discussions regarding our ACA, CTE, and AP programs throughout the evening. It’s a great chance to learn more about all of our course offerings, as we prepare for the 2018-19 course selection window.

Please mark your calendars now and make plans to attend!

February 5th and 19th will now be full instructional days due to snow cancellations. On February 5th we will operate on a Day 1 schedule, and on February 19th we will operate on a Day 2 schedule.

Parents, we have a great opportunity for students to take the Learner’s Permit Test. On February 7, 2018 we will offer our second learner’s permit test of the year here at GHS from 3:30-4:30pm. In their Driver’s’ Education and P.E. classes, students will receive parent letters and forms that contain all the necessary information. The information can also be found on your son’s or daughter’s Schoology page. We hope that our students take advantage of this great opportunity!

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test that was scheduled for January 19, 2018 is now rescheduled for Wednesday, February 7, 2018 at 8am in the MCJROTC spaces.  The ASVAB is required for anyone who desires to pursue military service. It is recommended for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors because it helps identify those occupational areas where aptitude is demonstrated. Please see Staff Sergeant Strong or Lieutenant Colonel Williams to sign up
