Important Information
Carpool
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.
We are excited to welcome our Rising 9th Graders for our annual Curriculum Expo. The evening is designed for NEW Falcons and it is a floating event. We will have optional sessions running every half hour and department information stationed throughout the building.
