Message from the Principal
Dear Hornet Nation,
As we enter the month of May, I would ask that we continue to move forward with our classes and do what we need to do to be successful! Seniors, you only have three weeks left so make sure you are on point for graduation. A graduation information link is below as a reminder of what we discussed this past week in the senior assembly. Everyone please keep up the good work and keep moving forward. Have a great week and remember...We Are....Great Mills!
