Good Afternoon,
Today your student recieved a worksheet that will help them determine their last day at school for this semester. .We are asking that students fill it out and teachers initial it. We are then asking that you sign and the student return it by December 12. We wanted you to know where your student currently stands and when their last day, but we also need you to know that we are still taking grades daily and attendance daily, so this is subject to change. Thank you all. If you have questions please reach out at 479-996-7440.
Go Bulldogs!!
If you have been searching for the game, Thank you all your patience, but we are up and running. Go Dogs!!
We are excited to announce that all games played at East Hills Gym will be live-streamed on Greenwood Sportcenter on YouTube just like all other events. No commentary, but those unable to attend can watch from home!! 7th grade boys are about to tipoff!

Congratulations to GJHS teacher, Mrs. Kelly Mizell!
Yesterday, Arvest Bank honored Mrs. Mizell during the bank’s annual “We Love Teachers” initiative, which awards area educators $500 each to help with the purchase of school supplies.
She was one of 142 teachers at K-12 public state-funded schools throughout the bank’s four-state footprint to receive the award.
“At Arvest, we believe teachers are vital to shaping the future of our communities,” said Jennifer Caldwell, Arvest Bank Community Marketing Manager. “Through their dedication, teachers help build a foundation for lifelong learning and growth, inspiring students to reach their full potential. We’re proud to honor Mrs. Mizell with this recognition, and it’s our hope this award will help contribute to a positive learning environment.”
The bank’s “We Love Teachers” initiative aims to help teachers with the purchase of school supplies. According to a 2024 Teacher Spending Survey released by AdoptAClassroom.org, teachers reported spending an average of $860 out of their own pockets for classroom supplies.
Since 2016, Arvest has donated $539,500 to local teachers throughout Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas.
Megan Keenom, Branch Sales Manager of Arvest in Greenwood was at GJHS to present Mrs. Mizell with her $500 award.
The teachers and staff at GJHS have begun collecting donations to contribute to Isaiah Arrington's Scholarship Fund and to support Kylynn Nolan's family during this time. If you would like to join us in giving, please bring any donations to the GJHS front office. Thank you for your continued support of our Bulldog Family.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, funeral services for Isaiah, Vivian, and Wendy will be held at 11:00 a.m. in the GHS H..B. Stewart Arena. To help us plan accordingly, we ask that any GJHS students who wish to attend the service bring a written permission slip from a parent or guardian or have a parent/guardian call and notify the front office by noon on Monday.
Thank you for your cooperation and support during this time as we gather to honor and remember these members of our community.
Sincerely,
Joshua Nation

We are so thankful to be a part of your student's journey this year. The school year has started off incredibly well, and we appreciate your continued support. As we look ahead to more home games this week, I wanted to remind everyone of the expectations for students during our events.
GJHS students must enter the game with a parent and are expected to remain in the stands throughout the event. Students are not permitted to bring balls into events, congregate under the stands or on the hill, and once they have entered the facility, they should not leave. It is important that students stay in the stands, where their guardian can easily see them.
On Friday Nights, Mrs. Little and I have worked to create a fun and engaging atmosphere for our students in the stands, so they can enjoy the game while cheering on our Bulldogs. Please help us maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.
Thank you, and as always—Go Bulldogs!
