GHS Community,

This week's schedule is ABBA.

Please note, students and staff are off this Friday for a weather day.

ACT WorkKeys

On Tuesday, April 28th, all Sophomores will be taking the ACT WorkKeys assessment during the school day. This assessment consists of 3, 55-minute sections, and is a great opportunity for students to earn a College and Career Readiness Indicator (CCRI). This will be a normally scheduled school day for all other students.

Cell Phones

We’ve had a recent spike in cell-phone use on campus, and would appreciate your support in reminding our tigers that the FOCUS Act is State law. Cell phones and wireless electronic devices, including headphones, are to be stored in student’s backpacks or left in vehicles for the duration of the school day.

ACT

Many of our Juniors who tested on March 10th have received their ACT scores, and we’re EXCITED to share their growth with you! Please see the attached document that highlights some of the collective accomplishments of our students. Students can access their individual scores at my act website.
