This past week, Superintendent Contreras presented 3 models for reopening as well as the first 5 weeks to start on virtual for all grades.
Those models are embedded in the blog which can be found on any of our social media sites as well as on our website under Principal's Weekly Message
The Virtual School Academy application window for High School students is open from July 14-August 1. This is different from the Career College Promise Program and is offered for grades 9-12. Click Here
One push you may have heard is for students to take dual enrollment classes at GTCC. Southwest has the highest enrollment of all large high schools as we have seen the positive benefits from this program. If you are unfamiliar with this program, students are able to earn AP weighted credit, no AP exams, and
the best part is that it is free (except for a small student fee). Students are
able to transfer free college credit into most colleges/universities in North
Carolina and some outside of North Carolina if student earns a C or higher in
the course.
The criteria is as followed:
- You must be a 11th or
12th grader in order to register, (or rising 11th grader in the
Spring).
- Minimum GPA is
unweighted 2.8 (no rounding)
- Extended deadline is August 6th
- Fill out appropriate
forms.
- Submit a transcript
- Contact Ms. Linda Whitow
for any information - 336.334.4822/lswhitlow@gtcc.edu
OR Ms. Annette Harper at amharper2@gtcc.edu
Please reach out to your student's counselor if you have any questions:
10th-12th grade Last Name
A-D - Ms. Graves gravesg3@gcsnc.com
E-L - Ms. Campbell campbes2@gcsnc.com
M-R - Ms. Graham grahamk2@gcsnc.com
S-Z - Mrs. Hudgens hudgenj@gcsnc.com
In
light of the recent decision by the tNCHSAA to delay the start of fall sports
until at least Sept. 1, GCS will delay the start of marching band and athletics
until at least Monday, August 3. We remain committed to our students and
understand many are eager to resume participation in these programs. We will
continue to monitor trends in our state and region regarding the spread of
COVID-19 and will only allow activities to resume when it is safe to do so.

As I finish my blog, I ask the community again to assist all Southwest Schools with monitoring the grounds. Since our most recent Social Media posts asking for assistance, we have had a soccer net cut up and the spirit rock defaced with inappropriate graffiti. We still ask for the community to keep their eyes out and report anything or anyone to the schools. Thank you for your assistance.
Please continue to stay in the loop with all communications. Please remember that with this pandemic and the unknown, staying in the loop of all communications is very important. I recommend you connect to all GCS and Southwest Guilford High School communications. Thank you again, I miss you all and I look forward to seeing you hopefully in the near future.
We are ... Southwest!
