SWHS Principal's weekly updates for May 7th

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

This coming Friday is our monthly PTSA Chic Fil A day at the Palladium. Whether you visit them morning, lunch or dinner, simply let them know you are with SWHS. A portion of the your payment will go right back into the SWHS PTSA.

The student yearbook staff asked me to share that there are only a limited number of yearbooks left. The cost is $80.00 each. Cash and checks are accepted and can be brought to Room, D124. Distribution of yearbooks starts on May 25th.

We now find ourselves with only 4 full weeks of instruction followed by a week of exams. AP exams start this week and end on May 18th. Please make sure your children who may be enrolled in AP classes take advantage of any study session opportunities that their AP teacher is providing.  Reach out to your child's teachers to seek out any of these opportunities as well as for other exams as we near the end of the school year. 

The following week is Teacher Appreciation week at SWHS. Please reach out to Michele McGuire at michele.mcguire1424@gmail.com to see how you can further assist with recognizing the extraordinary work our teachers at SW do for the students on a daily basis. 

Seniors and parents of seniors, please make sure all scholarship/grant awards are turned in to their counselor even if they will not be attending the university that has given them the award.
