Good evening, this is Mike Hettenbach, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School with your weekly updates and reminders...


11th and 12th graders, this is a reminder... if you are planning on taking classes at GTCC in the Spring, there is an information session on Thursday, November 2, 2017 at 6:00 pm on the Jamestown campus, Sears Applied Technology Building Room 120.

Tutorial Buses continue each week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have the bells set up to ring at 3:45 and 4:45. Students should not be late to tutorials nor should those who need bus transportation be allowed to leave early. Any student that can not arrive on time will not be allowed to attend tutorials or ride the late bus home.


The ASVAB Career Exploration Test will be given at Southwest High School on Tuesday, October 31st at 8:50am in the cafeteria for all interested sophomores, juniors and seniors.  The ASVAB isn't just for students interested in the military, this test will help identify which career is right for all students.  Any student interested in taking the ASVAB should see Ms. Sue Durant in the Guidance Office.
