Thank you so much for your feedback as we considered options for the remainder of the 2023-2024 Greenwood School District Calendar. We received 1610 responses from our community and staff and an overwhelming 91% expressed support for the proposed adjustment to the bell schedules at Greenwood Junior High and Greenwood High School. In response to your input, our school board voted unanimously last night to approve the proposed change. As a result: 1. Beginning Monday, February 19, 2024, the GJHS and GHS will begin the school day at 7:55 AM and end at 3:11 PM. This change adds 3 minutes to the day at GJHS and 11 minutes at GHS. 2. The bell schedule will not change for any other Greenwood School District campus. 3. As long as we do not have any additional snow days, this change will allow the last day of school for our district to be Thursday, May 30, 2024. 4. This change will not impact morning bus routes. However, if your child rides the bus home in the afternoon, buses should not be delayed more than 3-5 minutes. Thank you for your cooperation and support! GO BULLDOGS!

Other players were Junior, Michael Turner, Sophomores Isaac Buzbee, Christian Michael, and Jess Henry, and Freshman Gabe Hensley Greenwood’s junior high quiz bowl blue team took third at the 6A West Regional Tournament Saturday. Team captain, eighth grader Dexter Coston, was named to the all-tournament team and earned the High Point Player medal by scoring more points than all other individual players.
