Congratulations To Those On Honor Roll & High Honor Roll
Building Announcement
Beginning on Wednesday, February 5th in an attempt to better ensure the safety of all students and staff, the only GHS entrance which will be available to anyone arriving after 7:45am will be the door nearest the Welcome Center entrance. The doors near the auditorium will be locked each day promptly at 7:45am.
Use of this entrance will allow office personnel to visually identify all individuals seeking entrance to GHS prior to allowing entry into the building.
I understand this Is an inconvenience. However, I hope you can understand our greatest priority is to provide the safest learning environment possible.
This change may require additional travel time as the walk along the North side of the building will be longer. Please plan accordingly and allow yourself enough time to make it to GHS on time for your scheduled courses. PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY
I suggest using Monday and Tuesday of next week as trial run dates to make sure you are aware of any additional time it may take you.
