Students are encouraged to log in and confirm schedules.
Students can also confirm schedules in the main lobby tomorrow morning.

Students that need a schedule change, must fill out an official drop form as the Semester has begun and must have all signatures for approval.  Drop forms are located in the Guidance Office.  Students should not report to Guidance for any changes but should email their Guidance Counselor indicating what they would like changed.  Students will be contacted letting them know if they are able to make any changes based on their request.  If a student has an empty period in their schedule, they should email their counselor as well so that a class can be added. 
Changes may have been made to student's schedules since they were handed out last week due to class balancing, final grades submitted for courses and Regents exam scores.  Students should follow their most updated schedule in School Tool in case their schedule was changed.

Report Cards will be mailed home on Monday, February 2.

***Class of 2026 Class Rank calculations and Top Ten announcement will occur once all grades (from all outside programming) are received. We hope this will be later next week. Senior students and parents should look for more information to come.

College Scholarship Opportunities with GHS FCU

GHS’s Scholarship Program offers our membership and community two scholarship opportunities for high school seniors attending two- or four-year accredited educational institutions for the first time in the coming year.

Our mission is to help our community achieve financial wellness, and avoiding debt is an important step in attaining that goal. For young adults building on the foundations of their financial situations, debt – especially student loan debt – can put the upcoming generation at a disadvantage. Additionally, one of the biggest barriers for students interested in continuing education is cost and fear of going too far into debt.

2026 Scholarship Applications
GHS Federal Credit Union is proud to partner once again with the New York Credit Union Association to offer graduating high school seniors the opportunity to earn financial support for their college journey. With just one application, students are automatically entered into two scholarship programs—the NYCUA statewide awards and the GHS local awards.

For students across our field of membership, GHS is deeply committed to supporting educational success as part of our broader mission of financial wellness. We believe strong communities are built by investing in the next generation, and our scholarship program is one of the many ways we help local students gain confidence, stability, and opportunity as they take their next steps. By easing the financial burden of higher education, we’re proud to champion the future leaders, creators, and changemakers who call our communities home.

Apply today and take the next step toward your future with the support of your credit union community!
