The staff and community members of Southwest Guilford High School want to celebrate YOU!
Your Senior year is one that many look forward to upon entering elementary school. It is also a year that no one never forgets. All of you have certainly made your mark in history with the most senior skip days of any other class……. EVER! So please allow us to help you celebrate by “adopting” you.
Here is how it works:
A Facebook Group has been created for you and your families called Adopt-A-2021-Senior. If you or someone in your family is on Facebook, please search for the group, answer the three questions and join. Staff and community members can either request a senior or be matched up with a senior if they do not know one graduating this year to “adopt” for celebrating. The staff and community member will deliver their celebration gifts to you between May 20th – June 3rd.
Please send any questions to swghcowboys@gmail.com
Stay tuned there are many other ways we have started planning to celebrate you from now until June 4th!
If you have not spoken to someone about this program yet, please email swghcowboys@gmail.com no later than Friday April 23rd to let us know if you will be participating.

Do you feel like there is something missing from this manual? Please e-mail any administrator of what it is and where the location should be. As we continue to build this, we are hoping this becomes the ultimate Staff Handbook. Thank you to everyone who has played a role in this development!

The Application Packet includes:
o GTCC Application for Admission – Student signature required on page 2. Please do not include the social security number on the application for admission.
o Verification of Student Eligibility Form – Please make sure that you have all signatures required and that you have included the pathway.
o Year-End High School Transcript – courses must be listed by grade level, signed and dated by principal and include a cumulative unweighted GPA.
Please send a copy of your latest transcript with the admissions packet. If you attend a public high school, you may request this through cfnc.org. Please provide your High School ID # on the Verification Form. If your transcript is in a sealed envelope, you may open it and scan it.
o Copy of Home School State Registration (if applicable)
o Consent to Release Form – to be completed by the student.
o Media Release Form – to be completed by the parent.
3. Scan your application packet and email the documents as attachments using the attach
button to ccp@gtcc.edu. Do not copy and paste the documents into the body of the email.
Once you have submitted your application packet:
o Please be checking the email listed on your application. If something is missing, you will be notified. After the application is processed, the applicant will receive an email with Titan Account Activation Instructions.
o After activating your Titan account, please log into your GTCC Titan Email and check it frequently. You will receive registration instructions around March 1, 2021. Applicants who apply after March 15, will receive registration instructions after their application is processed.
o Once you have registered for classes, you will be sent an email with instructions for our mandatory online CCP Orientation.
Please keep in mind that the purpose of CCP is for eligible high school students to earn college credits towards a college degree, diploma, or certificate.
Dual credit for high school graduation requirements is a bonus, but should not be what drives course selection. Courses in the CCP transfer pathways should be selected based on the published bachelor degree plan for the major at the university the student intends to transfer to after high school.
Feel free to share Counselors information to the students.
