Southwest Guilford High School Principal's Message for the Week of August 15, 2016

Good evening, this is Wayne Duggins, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School.

I have just a few quick items to share with you.

Only two more weeks and we will be kicking off the 2016-2017 school year. I hope you are excited for another great year at the "Ranch".


Each Sunday at 6:30 PM, you will receive a phone call from me with some brief information pertaining to the upcoming week. You will also be able to access this message on the school website under School News and titled Weekly Updates. I will also be sending this link out at the same time on Facebook and Twitter. Please follow Southwest High School at SouthwestGHS for both Twitter and Facebook. This is a great way for us to communicate and stay connected.

This Saturday, August 20th at 12pm, the Carl Chavis YMCA is hosting their Back to School Bash. You will be able to meet and greet your local principals, have some light refreshments, and also enjoy some live entertainment. They have a new splash park and will be giving away backpacks stuffed with school supplies. Registration is required and tickets may be picked up at the "Y". Proof of High Point residency and a report card are required to receive a ticket. We hope to see you there.

On Monday, August 22nd, we will have our annual freshmen orientation. Mr. Hettenbach wants me to remind you that all 9th graders are expected to attend the orientation from 8:30am to 12:30pm. Parents can attend the orientation that evening from 6:30 to 8:00pm. Schedules will be handed out to parents AFTER parent orientation ends. Any parent that does not pick up their child's schedule will have it mailed immediately the next day.


On Monday, August 22nd, all 10th, 11th, and 12th grade schedules will be mailed home. We are still working this week on fixing scheduling issues in an effort to make them as accurate as possible.

I know that many of you are wondering whether our dress code or cell phone policies are going to change. At this time, we will not be changing any of our procedures or expectations. Our Leadership Team will be looking at all of our policies as the year progresses to make sure that we are consistent.

I hope you have a great week and are ready to start back on August 29th
