ALL GRHS STAFF AND STUDENTS MUST BE PROPERLY WEARING A MASK AT ALL TIMES IN THE BUILDING (EVEN IN THE CAFE - UNLESS EATING DURING LUNCH - AND STILL MUST BE SOCIALLY DISTANCED by sitting 4 per table). Students refusing to wear their mask will be sent home.
A Message From Heather Patterson, GRHS Principal
Happy Sunday Longhorns,
We have completed our first week of the 5th six weeks. This six weeks is the one where we start preparing for what needs to be done to closeout the 20-21 school year. Counselors are hard at work having one on one conferences with our Longhorns to solidify their course selection choices for next year as we are planning what Senior activities will look like in the month of May, including graduation.
When it comes to grades, there is no LUCK involved in passing if you are not completing what you need to do each day, it takes being ALL IN. All our Longhorns must be PREPARED and stay checked in to completing all their daily assignments so that they can successfully complete the academic school year. Failing and summer school are still a thing, and as I have been saying all year this is not going to be like last spring when we didn't know that we were not coming back, and LOTS of grace was given. We are here, you have the tools and our support, so you are expected to do your best so that you can pass and enjoy a nice summer break. I know you are tired, because we are tired, but I promise we will keep showing up and giving our all, and I expect the same in return. Next week is thankfully Spring Break, please take some time to refill that energy tank with your family and doing something that brings you joy. If you need ANYTHING to help support you, your teachers, counselors, and assistant principals are just an email away. As always, I have included the direct link to their emails below to make contact simple. We got this!
Let's talk about masks. At this time, Lamar CISD is NOT adjusting any of its COVID-19 safety protocols, including the requirement to wear face coverings in all facilities. With GRHS housing 2,000 people on a daily basis, maintaining proximity of 6 feet apart at all times is just not possible, even with the staggered class changes, one way stairways, and reduced cafe table seating. As always, we appreciate your ongoing support as we work together to keep our Longhorn students and staff safe and coming face to face each day!
Due to shipping delays with College Board, the school day SAT for JUNIORS has been rescheduled for April 13th. Logistics will be coming to all juniors when we get into April. Thanks for your patience.
Masks and social distancing protocols are STILL in place! Keep being smart and stay safe by adhering to the face to face expectations by properly wearing those masks, sanitizing regularly, and following social distancing protocols to the best of our ability. We can't completely control COVID, but we can definitely slow the spread down, and that is A LOT! Any student refusing to follow the rules will be given disciplinary consequences, which will in turn affect their semester exam exemptions. Let's all do our part to keep GR the PLACE to be... especially for those of us CHOOSING to be face to face.
Thank you so much to all our parents and students reaching out to your Assistant Principal for questions and assistance. Please CONTINUE to email your (or your student's) Assistant Principal , as they can assist you the quickest.

Tuesday Virtual Speaker- Charlie Brenneman
WORLD’S TOUGHEST LIFELONG LEARNER
Charlie "The Spaniard" Brenneman grew up in small-town Pennsylvania focused on family, academics and wrestling. Growing up, his parents instilled the importance of doing what’s right and being kind to people. We smiled, looked people in the eye, said “Please” and “Thank you” and never forgot where we came from. We were taught to say “Hello” to people who looked like they could use it. Academics and athletics were front and center in our household. After Division I wrestling and All-Academic success, he taught Spanish and coached wrestling back home until leaping into reality TV (“Pros vs. Joes” season 1 champ) and professional MMA (27 fights total, 11 in the UFC, #7 ranking in 2011). The Spaniard will be giving a 45 minute virtual presentation to our Longhorns on Tuesday during 3rd period that is aiming to inspire the importance of being a lifelong learner and using your character as a way to thrive during challenging times.
Virtual students please check your 3rd period teacher's Canvas page for the Zoom link!

The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by Executive Order of the President to recognize some of our nation's most distinguished graduating seniors for their accomplishments in many areas: academic success, leadership, and service to school and community.
A distinguished panel of educators will review all submissions and select approximately 600 semifinalists in early April. The Commission on Presidential Scholars, appointed by the President, will select the finalists, and the U.S. Department of Education will announce the Scholars in May.
