Principal's Message
Dear Green Hope High School Families,
I hope you are enjoying a lovely day after a week of rough weather! We are sad to have had to postpone the Pep Rally during this fun Homecoming week filled with lots of spirit. We will plan to reschedule the Pep Rally for another home football Friday so the students can collectively celebrate and build school pride.
This week is our 5th week of school and 1st quarter Interims will be distributed to students. Please remember that, by the end of the week, students need to have attended SMART Lunch at least twice for each of their classes to be on track to earn their incentives in those classes.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Alison Cleveland
Principal
