Hello GHS students and parents !  I hope you all had a great weekend ! 

8th - Students had SOL review last week and this week and next will be taking SOL's.  Please make sure students get to bed on time and have a good breakfast to help them with a successful SOL season.

11th - Students will be reviewing this week for SOL's next week.  Please make sure students get to bed on time and have a good breakfast to help them with a successful SOL season.

Once a week (usually Thursday) we focus on a current event for study/discussion.  The juniors this year receive Newsweek Magazine once a week which has really added to the current event program this school year. 

Several parents have taken advantage of e-mailing me with questions which is great !  Please e-mail me (students and parents) If you ever have any questions or concerns and you can reach me before or after school or during my planning period 9:33-10:21 at school at 540-921-1711.  

Mrs. Johnson
