Would you like to host a Meet & Greet this summer for our incoming

Principal, Mr. Dimmick ?

Thanks to All For Keeping Our Kids Safe

The GHS PTSA After Prom was a grand success.

We had over 500 students participate with over 1/3 staying until we closed at 4:00am!

It truly took the Gaithersburg Village to pull it off. We had over 70 parents volunteer to bring food and drinks, set up, and work at the event. With many also staying until we closed at 4pm. Thank you for your commitment and support.

We also could not have done it without the great support of the GHS Community.

An important message from Dr. Handy

about upcoming testing at GHS.

Hello Trojan Families!

This is your proud Principal Dr. Handy with a few important announcements about testing.

State mandated testing is fast approaching and the window begins on this Monday April 23 and will run through Friday June 1.

Testing will begin with the PARCC Algebra I exams.

The PARCC Algebra I exams will occur Monday April 23-Friday May 4.

The PARCC English 10 exams will occur Wednesday May 16- Tuesday May 22.

Some students will also take Advanced Placement (AP) exams beginning on Monday May 7 and occurring through Friday May 18.

During the testing window there will be half days of schools to accommodate testing. These days are Monday May 21, Tuesday May 22, Wednesday May 23 and Thursday May 24. On May 21-22 students will take the PARCC English 10 exam and on May 23-24 students will take the Government High School Assignment exam.

On these half days, students who are not testing may arrive to school at lunchtime. Also on May 22 some selected Seniors will take the Montgomery College Summative math exam in the morning.

On testing days, testing will begin at 7:45 am so students need to arrive to school by 7:30 am to ensure getting to their testing locations on time.

We ask that you please not schedule doctor’s appointments or other engagements during the school day while the testing window is in effect. Thank you for your cooperation and support of our students. We cannot do this without you.

~With Trojan Pride, Dr. Christine Handy, Proud Principal –Gaithersburg High School. 301-284-4500

Parents--see this important notice from

Dr. Handy about student parking at GHS.

Dear Trojan Families,

Students are required to purchase a parking permit each semester

to park a vehicle in the GHS parking lot. There is an application process to be awarded a parking permit.

It has come to our attention that students are parking on campus without a permit,

intentionally ignoring this process. Please note, that starting on Wednesday, 4/18/18,

students parking without a permit may be charged a

$10 daily parking fee and receive disciplinary consequences

for ignoring school policies related to parking.

Unpaid daily parking fees will become student obligations.

Failure to adhere to the policy may also result in towing.
