I want to thank each and every one of you for an amazing job you have done entering the pandemic, during the pandemic, with all the unique events held, and closing up the year. Educators across the globe were required to completely transform their delivery of instruction overnight. We know this was not easy, but you all faced the challenge and hit it out of the park! We continue to be a leader around the county every time we face challenges and I am very proud and privileged to be the Principal of Southwest Guilford High School.

From the desk of Kristy Cline:
June 15th = Report cards printed
June 29th = Powerschool goes offline for the all schools
"Wow!!! Seriously WOW!!! When we were first brainstorming this idea and thought 3miles to run or walk for the week would be achievable, y'all blew those 3 miles out of the water!! 😳 We should have set the weekly goal at 10 miles! Some of y'all were running 6 or more miles in a day... I was like, are they even working?!?! Haha! I am so so so proud of everyone that participated in this challenge. If you look of the padlet, you will see our top runners/walkers. The winner of the tablet is Mrs. Phillips with 100+ miles over the 4 weeks and Mr. Mode won the mini from the drawing. I hope everyone has an AWESOME SUMMER & stays active!" 😊💚🖤
