Reminder: Progress Report grades are released at the end of the month (October 27). Students who are not passing will be placed on academic probation. Students on academic probation may not participate in GHSA activities, which include the One Act Play and athletics. These students are also placed in study halls during their free periods. This is done in an effort to create an environment where students can pull up their grades. Our handbook’s policy can be found here.
