Message from the Principal
Dear Hornet Nation,
We are up and running with the 4th marking period. Please keep up with all your assignments and make sure that you communicate with your teachers for help if needed. Students who have not passed their classes for the year will be invited to summer school, so it is in each student's best interest to do everything in their power to finish strong and pass their classes. Summer school information will be available in the coming weeks. Prom details are included this week, so make sure to check out the video. More detailed information is coming in the next few weeks in regards to graduation. A lot is going on so again stay the course and get it done in the classroom as we continue to move forward. Have a great week and remember....
We Are....Great Mills!!!
Sincerely,
Dr. Heibel
