Big news this week at GHS is the early-release day Wednesday (students dismissed at 11:00) and conferences Thursday night and Friday (no school for students on Friday).

We are pleased to announce that it is time to schedule student-parent-teacher conferences to be held March 14th (2:30p.m. – 8p.m.) and 15th (8a.m. – 2p.m.). These conferences are very important to your child’s learning and to give parents the opportunity to meet with teachers. Almost two months into the new semester, students are ready to review their strengths and identify areas of improvement. In addition, teachers are ready to provide an update on your child’s progress and grades to date.

I hope you all had a great weekend. On a personal note, I cannot thank the GHS community enough for its support this past week. It was truly awe-inspiring to see all the ways students and staff stepped up to support each other and celebrate Pooch's life, and it was truly comforting the way our community reached out to us at the high school through email, stopping by, sending flowers, etc. We have a pretty special community at the high school and in Gorham, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of it.
