Principal's Update 28.2

Parents & Students, 

Whew, here we are wrapping up another school year. We’ve got 8 school days remaining (unless you are a Senior!). I want to encourage everyone to pause, breathe and reflect on the wonderful things our students have accomplished in just the second year of this school. While we are far from perfect, but we have had the opportunity to participate in successes which I personally would not have thought possible for years to come. We have some special young men and women at Green Hill, and that needs to be acknowledged, championed and appreciated.
