A Message From Heather Patterson, GRHS Principal


Happy Sunday GRHS Longhorns,


The VERY LAST Friday of the 20-21 School year is coming up! This past Friday night we had a successful Senior prom, this Friday we have our Senior Car parade, and this Saturday we get to celebrate the Class of 2021 as they cross that stage as GRHS graduates! How exciting!


9th-11th graders...your Spring exemption window is now open and will close on May 18th! Don't miss it, as there is no grace period, and you will have no choice but to take the exam or risk failing for the semester. Let's not let that happen! *PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FINAL EXAMS WILL BE TAKEN DURING YOUR DESIGNATED REGULAR CLASS PERIOD


PTO End of Year Staff Luncheon!

Hey Longhorn parents, we are so thankful for your support of the GRHS Staff over the past year. On Friday we are treating them to one last appreciation luncheon before we all have a nice long summer break!

We have the meal taken care of but need a little help with desserts and drinks! If you would be willing to donate one more time (drinks/dessert) here is the link! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0B44AAAD2EA5F94-eoyluncheon


Senior Weekly Updates- Next Email coming Tuesday!

Seniors and Senior parents please be checking your LCISD/Skyward listed email at least once a week for emails from me, these last few weeks will fly by and the deadlines must be followed!


Lamar CISD COVID-19 safety protocols- MASKS/FACE COVERINGS MUST BE WORN INSIDE all facilities and within 3 feet of each other outside.

Thank you so much to all our parents and students reaching out to your Assistant Principal for questions and assistance. Please CONTINUE to email your (or your student's) Assistant Principal , as they can assist you the quickest.
