The school counseling department will host Senior Information Night for Parents on Wednesday, September 19, 2018, at 6:30 in the Learning Commons at GHS. This presentation will mirror one given to seniors in Government class next week and will focus on the nuts-and-bolts of the college application process. It will also include a brief outline of resources for completing financial aid documents and finding scholarship applications. Please join us for this important session!
Congratulations to our 2018 GHS Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Liz Alford! Mrs. Alford is one of our amazing science teachers and the science department chair. She provides our students with innovative learning experiences through project based learning lesson plans and performance based assessments. She is someone who cares deeply about each of her students, and they love her for it. We are delighted to have Mrs. Alford represent us at the district level. Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Alford for receiving this prestigious award!
Our school division will be taking part in the biennial PRIDE Survey on January 17. The results of this survey will help Goochland County Public Schools design, adjust, and implement programs that promote student health and school safety, such as a reducKon in adolescent tobacco use and bullying behavior. Please see the attached letter from GCPS for further details.
We’ve recently learned that our MCJROTC program at GHS had its federal funding cut and is in danger of being forced to operate at reduced efficiency and without federal financial resources. Please review the document attached for more details. It was shared with the School Board at their regular meeting on December 12, 2017. It is a public document that is a part of their agenda packet. Please use this information to contact our lawmakers in Washington D.C. We will hold a Town Hall Meeting in order to answer any questions you may have regarding our program. The make-up date from the previously schedule meeting on January 9th is TBD.
As we head into a well-deserved break, we would like to thank all of our students, parents, staff and community members for a great first semester. We are truly amazed by the wealth of talent and opportunities we have in our small community. We would like to wish each member of our Bulldog Family a happy and safe holiday season!
Attached is a copy of the GHS Winter Midterm Exam/PBA schedule for the week of December 11th. Since we no longer have a traditional exam schedule, some teachers have opted not to administer an exam or chose to offer an alternative assessment during the exam week. Others chose to continue to administer exams as they provide teachers with data for SOL remediation. The schedule also includes two exam review days, as well as review time prior to exam testing. We hope to provide our students with the best opportunity for success!
