Greenspire High School would like to thank Maggie MacPherson for all of her diligent work with the Fish Club and Sturgeon Program! Maggie has single handedly taken care of all the school's fish, even coming in over breaks and on weekends! She has stepped up to this difficult role with excellence and responsibility. Way to go Maggie! Keep up the good work!

The Greenspire School Board of Education, The Greenspire School Foundation, and the Slawnik family for feeding our staff during Parent/Teacher conference week!

The many families who have donated snacks, wipes, and kleenex these past few weeks!!!!

Below is the link to a program for GHS students. These courses are for all students – both original credit (taking for first time) and abbreviated students (failed and need to make up credit).

When you review the link, you will notice courses that are highlighted bold – those are the courses that are correlated with the GHS listing of courses and so are available for abbreviated credit. The courses that are not highlighted bold are a section of courses that are available for original credit.

Dear GHS Community,

Starting on April 21st, we will begin periodic searches of student belongings in order to ensure that our school remains free of illegal substances. Searches include: lockers, bags, and emptying pockets. We do not search under clothing and we do not physically touch students. We have experienced increasing concerns in this area recently and want to be sure that our students are safe and healthy learners every day. An email was sent to the student body on Thursday, April 17th to give them ample warning of this possibility. Reasonable suspicion allows us to search students to ensure the safety of all. At GHS, we are continually committed to maintaining a drug free school for this community's teens.

Dear Parents and Students,

Emma is no longer serving the high school as 504 Coordinator. She spent most of the school year updating the high school 504 caseload and completed her duties here. For the remaining months of the school year, Coreene will be managing all 504s. Emma is now serving the middle school in a number of much needed roles! Thank you to Emma for her tireless work at GHS this year!
