Dear Greenwood High School Students and Families,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We hope you have had a wonderful summer and are as excited as we are to begin another great year at Greenwood High School. We have been hard at work preparing for the return of our students, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Wednesday, August 12, the first day of school.

This year is especially exciting as we continue to enjoy the many improvements to our campus. We are nearing the completion of our construction projects, and we can't wait for our students and families to experience all that Greenwood has to offer.

Important Dates

  • Monday, August 10 – Student schedules will be available via Infinite Campus beginning at 3:00 p.m.
  • Monday, August 10 – Greenwood High School Open House; 5:00–7:00 p.m.
    • Open House is a great opportunity to meet teachers, locate classrooms, and prepare for a successful first day. We encourage all students and families to attend if possible.
  • Wednesday, August 12 – First Day of School for Students

As we begin the new school year, I encourage every student to get involved. Whether it's joining a club, participating in athletics or the arts, volunteering, or simply building positive relationships with classmates and staff, being connected to school is one of the best ways to make high school a rewarding experience.

Attendance is one of the most important factors in student success. We ask families to partner with us by ensuring students attend school each day, arrive on time, and are ready to learn. The school day begins promptly at 7:35 a.m. Please keep in mind that traffic is typically heavier during the first few weeks of school, so allowing a little extra travel time can help students arrive on time and start their day successfully.

Regular attendance helps students stay engaged academically, build meaningful relationships, and take advantage of the many opportunities Greenwood High School has to offer. Superintendent Rob Clayton recently shared important information regarding changes to Kentucky's attendance laws and district attendance procedures. Please take a few moments to review that information so you are familiar with the updated expectations and requirements for the upcoming school year.

Thank you for entrusting us with your student's education. We appreciate your continued support and involvement and know that together we can make the 2026–2027 school year an outstanding one.
We look forward to seeing everyone at Open House and welcoming our Gators back on Wednesday, August 12!

Go Gators!

Sincerely,

Adam Hatcher

Greenwood High School
