SWGHS Principal's weekly announcements for August 19th


Good evening Southwest High School!  I hope this blog finds you doing well, rested up for the start of school, and motivated to do your best!

First and foremost, as you have heard by now, our bell schedule has been changed due to the awful traffic congestion on Barrow and Southwest School Roads. We shared the new bell schedule as soon as GCS confirmed these changes. If you believe this may interfere with your child's schedule, please reach out to your counselor. If your child's counselor happens to be one of our new counselors; Ms. Shelli Campbell (E-L), or Ms. Kendra Graham (M-R), please e-mail Ms. Galissia Graves at gravesg3@gcsnc.com


 New bell schedule

Students arriving before 7:40 should wait in the:
Freshmen – Freshmen gym
Upper classmen – front atrium
(Note: this is a safety reason)
At 7:40, a bell will ring and allow students to swipe in to the one card pass system

Students are released to 1st block class  8:05
             1st Block           8:10 to 9:50
