Good Evening GHS Wolfpack,
Sorry for the late communication, I had a pressing matter to attend to, however, I did not want the day to end without thanking our ENTIRE community for a very successful opening of schools at GHS!
A slight delay during arrivals aside (new students learning the system, a necessary delay on day 1), the day was smooth, full of eager learners and happy staff! I look forward to another successful school year with all of you!
With Pride and Appreciation,
Mr Morales
