Today, we celebrated the retirement of our School Counselor, Mrs. Sheila Lemley.
Mrs. Lemley has made a lasting impact on countless students, families, and staff members through her kindness and compassion. Her dedication to helping students succeed both inside and outside the classroom has truly made Greenwood Junior High a better place.
We are incredibly grateful for the love and care she has poured into our school over the past 26 years. Mrs. Lemley will be greatly missed, and we wish her nothing but happiness and blessings in this next chapter of life.
Thank you, Mrs. Lemley, for everything you have done for GJHS!

Good Afternoon,
We are so proud of our GJHS students and the strong start they’ve made with this year’s testing. They’ve been working incredibly hard, and it’s showing!
Next week, we will continue testing on Monday and Thursday. Please help us by ensuring your student gets a good night’s rest and arrives ready to do their best.
Also, a quick reminder that our school dance will be held Friday from 6:00–8:00 PM in the volleyball gym. Admission is $5 at the door. We will have water available for $1 and snacks for $2. Our school dress code will still apply. Students are welcome to dress up if they’d like, but it is not required. The dance is open to all current GJHS students who have not served ISS or OSS this semester.
Thank you for your continued support!
