Dear Green Hope High School Families,

On Tuesday we will celebrate our GHHS "Spotlight On Student" recipient at the WCPSS Board Meeting. Ashwinkumar Jayakumar has demonstrated perseverance and focused dedication to learning and success. We are excited to honor him!

Congratulations to Michelle Wei for her visual arts entry "Hope in Bloom" that won 2nd place in the Wake County Reflections Contest!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Alison Cleveland, Principal

The 2024 Great North American Eclipse will happen on Monday, April 8, 2024. In North Carolina, the partial eclipse will begin around 1:58pm and peak at approximately 3:15pm when the moon obscures about 82% of the sun. GHHS staff will not take classes outside to view the Eclipse. However, student dismissal and transportation home will be occurring during the course of the Eclipse so will be viewable by all students and staff.

Wake County Public School student and employee safety is of the utmost importance during this experience. As such, it is important to recognize that it is never safe to look directly at the sun’s rays, even when the sun is partially obscured. When watching a partial eclipse, students and employees must wear ISO certified eclipse glasses at all times if you want to face the sun or use an alternate indirect method of viewing. NASA's How to View the Solar Eclipse Safely provides additional safety guidelines.

The last day of the 3rd quarter is Tuesday.

Wednesday, April 10th is a Teacher Workday and there is no school for students.
