We want to display, promote, and especially celebrate the future plans of our senior class! Upstairs, right at the entrance of the 400 hallway, we have created an acceptance wall. When one of our seniors decides on the path they are going to take after graduation, whether that is college, working, trade school, military, or whatever else there is out there, we want them to sign their name to the corresponding sign on our acceptance wall. And if we don't have a sign for someone's next step, they need to talk to their counselor and we'll get it added!

If you are going on a college visit during a school day, please have your parent call Jill Washington, Attendance Secretary, 856-2610, at least two days prior to your visit in order for your absence to be coded as a school activity. You (the student) will also need to see Jill to obtain a College Visit Form.

• Seniors and Juniors may take two release days to visit colleges.
• No more than one visit may be taken in any quarter.

• College days may not be taken the last week of any quarter.

• College days must be taken before April 15.

Click HERE to request a transcript or go to the GEHS website.

Please allow 5 school days for requests to be processed. Please limit ONE request per form.

If you require a letter of recommendation from your counselor, please submit them, via email, at least TWO weeks prior to them being due.

From the "GE Class of 2025" Facebook group..."Just a reminder PG does not happen without the amazing volunteers that give up just a little time throughout the year, please watch all sign up geniuses this year as we have not been getting the volunteer traction we hoped for."
