This is the final week to recognize our incredible teachers through the Cary Chamber of Commerce "Honor A Teacher" Award. We are asking our community to nominate teachers for this award.

PLEASE review the GHHS Carpool Procedures. It is critical that all families follow these processes when dropping off students in carpool. Allowing students to exit vehicles on Carpenter Upchurch or outside of the drop-off zone causes a risk to student safety.

This week is National School Counseling Week, and Green Hope would like to focus on the unique contributions our school counseling team provides to our school community. Green Hope counselors are here to support all students’ academic, career, and social/emotional development. Our counseling team has planned a fun week of connection activities, and we encourage your students to take this opportunity to connect with their counselor, plan for their future, and get to know all the resources our counseling team provides.

In our continuing efforts to support the well-being of all our students, we will be administering a universal screener of social, emotional & behavioral health. For more information and/or to opt your child out of the screener, see this letter. If completed the opt-out form during the fall screening window, you do not need to resubmit for the Spring 2024 window. The opt-out form is good for the full school year.
