Grade 9 and Newcomers Open House

We would like to invite families of our Grade 9 students and those who are new to Georgetown District High School this year to an Open House. The Open House will take place on Thursday, September 26th from 5pm to 7pm at GDHS. This will be a chance for many of our families to come into the building for the first time, and meet some of the Grade 9 teachers. It will be an informal evening where your student(s) will be able to show you around the building and where they attend class. It will also be an opportunity to learn about some of our programs and gather information about some community resources. We are looking forward to seeing you on the 26th!


Multi-faith Prayer Space

Room 242 is open during periods 3 and 4 daily for any student or staff member wishing to have a quiet space for prayer or quiet reflection. The room has a sink, soap and paper towels at the back. Students who wish to leave class to pray should communicate with their teacher to make arrangements.
