What’s Happening at GHS

We have just completed our second week of school and things appear to be settling in. Thanks to all of our parents who attended the “Meet the Teacher Night” last Thursday evening.

School Picture Day will be Wednesday September 17, and we look forward to some new and updated pictures.

For all Seniors, the regular registration deadline for the October 11 SAT was September 12, 2014, but the late registration is available until September 30. The Guidance Counselors will begin meeting with all of their seniors to follow up on their progress with applications and college visits next week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact your child’s guidance counselor for more specific information.
