This year is particularly special as we celebrate Glenhope's 30th birthday!
It’s a remarkable milestone that offers us a wonderful opportunity to honor our school’s history while looking ahead to a future filled with endless possibilities for our students, staff, and community. Our theme this year will be "30 Years Around the Sun: Endless Possibilities." As we celebrate this significant occasion, we remain committed to helping our students excel and reach their highest potential, both academically and socially. We can't wait to embark on this exciting journey with all of you as we reflect on our achievements and envision the bright future that lies ahead.
We welcome all staff back on August 4th. To welcome them back, I would love to share some videos of our gators saying hi! If you would like to be part of this, please share a 30-second or less video of your child saying the following:
Welcome back!
Their name and what grade they are going into
What they are most excited about for this school year
Anything else to make our staff smile 💚
Please email me the video by Sunday evening and I will use them all to welcome our staff back on Aug 4th. These will warm their hearts and get them excited for what this year has to come!
You can email the video to alishia.ilic@gcisd.net
