Good evening, this is Mike Hettenbach, Principal of Southwest Guilford High School with your weekly updates and reminders...
We are... Southwest!
Congratulations to Angela Hagler on winning the SWHS Teacher of the Year award! Also -many shout outs go out to all the staff members who were nominated for this year's voting process.
The PTSA Walk the schedule night is Monday, February 5th from 6 PM to 7:30 PM starting in the auditorium. This is a wonderful time to meet your child's 2nd semester teachers. There will be a food truck on site as well as a vendor as early as 5PM. There is a good chance they will sell out before the end of the event, so come on out a little early to enjoy some dinner. A percentage from the sales of these trucks will go straight to the SWHS PTSA. Also - we have a school supply drive drive going on. As teachers spend a good bit of their own money on supplies, we ask if parents can donate specific items in need. Please reach out to your child's teachers to see how you can assist them.
This coming Friday is another SWHS PTSA Chic Fila day! Go visit Chic Fila at the Palladium and when making your purchase, please tell them you are from SWHS. A portion of their sales will go right back to the PTSA. Please remind your children as well who may be driving before or after school to communicate this.
It's National Counselor's week, February 5th-9th!
In a time when High School students are trying to find out what their future will hold, the role of the school counselor is vital. I have the honor in working so close to the counselors in the front office as well as having worked alongside Ms. Compton in the Freshman Academy in previous years. Unfortunately, more often than not, every staff member in this building may not get recognized for their efforts simply because it is "behind the scenes". I can assure everyone that our counselors are performing MANY behind the scenes tasks that simply do not get recognized. Please help me in giving a shout out to any counselor who has helped you or your child during their time at SWHS.
