Missed Yearbook Distribution

Any student who was not able to pick up their yearbook at their distribution event can pick up their yearbook in room 2101 during the following times:

  • Connectivity May 28-30
    • THIS OPTION IS FOR SENIORS ONLY! It's impossible for me to store all of the yearbooks in my classroom, so I will ONLY have the yearbooks for the seniors who didn't pick up their books on May 23.
  • June 3 & 4
    • After school until 3:00
  • June 5-11
    • During the review session, if the teacher allows (12:30-2:18)
    • After school until 3:00

    • during school hours in the front office

Student Didn't Buy a Yearbook, but Wants One Now?

Seniors will have the first opportunity to purchase any remaining yearbooks on a first-come, first-served basis. AFTER MAY 30, anyone else can purchase a yearbook ($115 exact change or a check made out to GLHS) from me in room 2101 (see times above).

 

Attention 9, 10 & 11 Grade: 

May 31:  English novels and library materials are due Friday, May 31.  Textbooks are now overdue and must be turned in.  As a reminder, 9, 10 & 11th graders will keep their Chromebooks until they graduate. Thank you for returning materials so we are prepared to distribute them in the fall.

Immunization Requirement:

​North Carolina law now requires all rising 12th graders to receive a meningococcal vaccine booster before starting 12th grade. The vaccination must be done before the 2024-25 school year begins. Parents will need to provide a copy of their child’s immunization record showing proof that the meningococcal vaccine has been completed prior to the first day of school. This is a 2-dose immunization; the 1st dose was required in the 7th grade in Wake County schools. Please send your immunization updates to hestrada@wcpss.net or jmiller3@wcpss.net   Fax: 919-589-6734 Attention- Records.....
