Southwest Guilford High School's Principal's Message for the week of May 8, 2017

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

I have a very quick message for you.

Students who are enrolled in AP classes will continue to take their AP exams this week. Please encourage your child to eat well before the exam and get proper sleep.

Parents of seniors, the Baccalaureate date has now been moved to Sunday, May 21 at the Jamestown United Methodist Church. Students should be lining up no later than 3:30 in their cap and gown.

As it relates to the Prom on May 13, we want to inform any and all individuals that students must be present in school on Friday the 12th for at least half of the day in order to attend the prom. Any student who is out of school for more than half of a day on Friday the 12th will not be allowed to attend the Prom that Saturday, May 13th. 

The annual senior picnic is currently scheduled for May 26th. The committee is asking for a small donation of $10.00 per family, however any amount would be greatly appreciated. You can have your child drop a check made out to SWHS PTSA or cash to the main office. Anyone that has had children experience the senior picnic will know what an undertaking this is and how vital the donations are to making it a success. Thank you for any assistance with this.
