SWHS Principal's weekly updates for March 19

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

As I mentioned in my previous connect eds, we have a parent who is willing to make a large donation for safety and security as well as technology matching dollar for dollar up to $30,000 for every donation made by the community. I invite you and your friends to attend a very brief overview regarding safety and security at SWHS on Tuesday, at 6PM in the auditorium as well as touch base with you regarding this donation and how you can help if you choose to do so. Please know we will use these donations to add to what GCS is already planning on assisting us with. These donations will assist us with going above and beyond. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting this Tuesday evening at 6pm in our auditorium!

10th graders taking English II this semester must meet with Mr. Hawkins first before registering for classes. If they took English II last semester they are good to go with registration. In addition, Mr. Hawkins will set up in the cafeteria during all 4 lunches next week assisting students with registration who took English II last semester. 

This past week, we reviewed both the tornado and fire drill in 3 of the 4 lunches within the cafeteria. The 4th lunch will go over their drill on Monday.All students listened carefully and were allowed to resume socializing once we reviewed these drills. We will continue to inform you of the various drills that have been practiced in our school.

Rising 11th and 12th grade students who are interested in dual enrollment via Career & College Promise have an opportunity to find out more about this program by attending an informational session at GTCC Jamestown on March 20, at 6PM in the Sears Applied Building.

We have a little less than 2 weeks left until the 3rd quarter ends. Please make sure you are in contact with your child's teacher for academic help or to make sure any excessive time is made up. 

As it relates to the weekly athletics, please feel free to navigate to the www.cowboysports.org website for detailed information.
