GHS Update
April 17, 2020
GHS closed for the remainder of the year; Distance Learning to continue
There are many of questions. Below is sample of what we've been asked already.
Graduation We are, currently, looking at alternatives to our traditional ceremony at UNT. We will announce those plans as soon as we have a solid plan in place. The goal is to still have graduation on May 27.
On campus activities through May, such as Class Night, Baccalaurette, spring concerts and certain banquets are canceled. We are exploring other ideas to celebrate our hard-working students.
Prom is an off-campus event that we still hope to have, but just as with all events in our city, we would be restricted to our options if there is an extension of the current group gathering requirements. Unfortunately, this would be out of our control.
We will not have final exams. Our current grading policy requires two grades per week. Completing your assignments is critical for seniors to graduate and underclassmen to get credit for this year and advance to the next grade for 2020-21.
An office secretary is here from 8:00-1:00 each day. Administrators are on campus everyday, as well.
Please feel free to shoot me an email with any question or call. I understand your need to know. Chances are many others have your same question.

Photos for Slide Show
Photos are being collected for the senior slideshow. If you would like to have your senior featured in the slideshow, please include (3) pictures of the Senior only, not to include pictures with siblings, parents or friends. (You can include a baby picture, Junior High Picture, and a Senior Picture or any combination you like.) Place pictures in a sealed envelope with $10.00 and label it “Senior Photos’ and put your Senior’s name on it. Also please write your senior’s name on the back of each photo.
You may drop this envelope off at GHS on Mondays during the assignment pickup window. They are due by April 20.
