This will be my last Weekly Update correspondence to the Graham community. Serving this incredible community has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. Over the past 5+ years, I have had the honor of working alongside such dedicated and passionate students, parents and community members, who continually put students first. I am deeply grateful for your support, your unwavering commitment to our students, and the positive energy that defines Graham High. As I transition from this role, Dr. Darrell Thomas will be stepping in as interim principal. Dr. Thomas is an experienced and respected leader in ABSS, who shares the values and vision for excellence in education. I have full confidence in his ability to lead our school through this transition, and I know he will continue to inspire and support each of you as you work toward a successful completion of the Spring semester. Thank you again for the privilege of being a part of this remarkable community. I will cherish my time here and look forward to seeing the continued success of Graham High School.

On Friday November 22nd, our basketball teams will return to action for our home opener against Excelsior Classical Academy. The Varsity Girls will begin at 6PM and Varsity Boys will follow.

Parents, who have not already done so, please complete the Opt-In survey that is linked on the GHS Facebook and Instagram page. Your students photos will not be included in the yearbook without the parental approval. We will need information for any student who may go by a different name. Other items on the survey include information regarding the reproductive health unit for Heath and P.E., assistance from the ABSS athletic trainer and also biometric activities. Students and families, a few weeks ago ABSS sent out a survey asking students and families about the traits that are valued the most in a principal. The reason the district shared this survey is because at the conclusion of winter break, I will be transitioning to a new role with Durham Public Schools. I would like to thank each and every family and student who has made me feel welcome and a part of the Graham community over the past six years. The work and growth that has been made, is still top priority. At this time, there has not been a new principal named. This announcement will follow one of the upcoming ABSS Board meetings. These are all of the announcements for the evening. Remember that everyday is a great day to be a Red Devil.

Los padres, que aún no lo han hecho, por favor complete la encuesta Opt-In que está vinculado en la página de GHS Facebook e Instagram. Las fotos de sus estudiantes no se incluirán en el anuario sin la aprobación de los padres. Vamos a necesitar información para cualquier estudiante que puede ir por un nombre diferente. Otros puntos de la encuesta incluyen información sobre la unidad de salud reproductiva para Heath y P.E., la asistencia del entrenador atlético ABSS y también actividades biométricas. Estudiantes y familias, hace unas semanas la ABSS envió una encuesta preguntando a estudiantes y familias sobre los rasgos que más se valoran en un director. La razón por la que el distrito compartió esta encuesta es porque al final de las vacaciones de invierno, estaré en transición a un nuevo papel con las Escuelas Públicas de Durham. Me gustaría agradecer a todas y cada una de las familias y estudiantes que me han hecho sentir bienvenido y parte de la comunidad de Graham en los últimos seis años. El trabajo y el crecimiento que se ha hecho, sigue siendo la máxima prioridad. En este momento, no se ha nombrado un nuevo director. Este anuncio se hará después de una de las próximas reuniones de la Junta Directiva de la ABSS. Estos son todos los anuncios de la noche. Recuerden que cada día es un gran día para ser un Red Devil.

This Fri. there will be a Wrestling interest meeting @ 3:45 PM in the Gym Lobby. All that are interested should have a physical and all documents uploaded DragonFly . Please contact Coach Proffitt for further details.
