Welcome to Grovetown High School!
Since its inception in the 2009-2010 school year, Grovetown High School has continuously excelled in the classroom and on the fields. I am privileged to be your Principal and I feel honored to work with our highly qualified staff, our wonderful students, and all the supportive parents.
The faculty and staff at Grovetown High school are dedicated to creating an outstanding educational experience to enrich your life. Challenge yourself to excel in all areas and participate in as many activities as possible. The more you put into high school, the more you will get out of the experience. This handbook contains essential information about our school and Columbia County Board of Education policies and procedures. Please take time to read its contents and I hope you find it a helpful resource.
We look forward to another outstanding year at Grovetown High School. Working together, we will continue to promote a tradition of excellence!
Andrew Young, Principal
