Southwest Guilford High School's Principal's message for the week of March 13, 2017

Good evening, this is Mike Hettenbach, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School.

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

First, Wednesday, March 15th is an early release day. Students will be released at 1:35.

Seniors - Service Learning deadlines are coming up. This Wednesday March 15th is the final submission for all service learning approval forms. 

We have a wonderful presentation coming up on April 3rd from 6-8 pm in the media center called the Poe Center's Drugs Uncovered: What parents need to know!  As society is seeing an increase in drug use and drug related health problems, the SW PTSA is sponsoring this fantastic program for parents to gain tools for prevention as well as get information on how to respond if you think your child or their friends are experimenting with drugs and alcohol. There is no fee but registration is encouraged and can be accessed on the SWHS web page.

The Southwest Band is partnering with Imagine Travel to raffle off a Caribbean vacation to an all-inclusive Hard Rock resort. Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased from any band student or Dr. McIvor.  Airfare is not included and the winner must be at least 18 years old.  The drawing will be held at the band and orchestra Pre-MPA concert this Thursday, March 16, and additional information can be found on the band website.  Please come out and support the arts!
