Principal's Message
Dear Green Hope High School Families,
As we continue to assess the practices that impact student safety and experience, we have noticed an increase in students ordering food to be delivered to campus during the lunch hour. We are not able to support this practice as it both invites unknown visitors onto campus and creates the potential for traffic and student safety issues in the parking lot. We will confiscate food being delivered by delivery services during the lunch hour and provide the students with an alternate meal. Please discourage your student from ordering food to be delivered to school.
Additionally, the front driveway will be closed for any vehicle traffic (other than vehicles exiting campus with off-campus passes) from 10:20 am - 10:35 am. This plan will also increase the safety of student drivers exiting campus for lunch. Please plan accordingly if you plan to arrive to campus to check out your student or for other reasons.
Congratulations to our 10 students that competed in the SkillsUSA State Leadership Conference. 7 of the 10 students placed in the top 5 out of 9 trade skill contests that they competed in. This is our first year Green Hope has competed in this competition.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Alison Cleveland, Principal
