For our high school parents and guardians, we now have a list of students who are getting very close to exceeding the number of absences per semester that are not related to Covid. Our handbook states absences are counted during each class period. So, a student could be fine in several classes, but be in violation in others. We are preparing to send out attendance letters and calls to parents/guardians of students who are very close to being in violation. We can not stress the importance of school attendance this year. Students are on campus 178 days and we need everyone here. High school students (9-12) who exceed the number of absences could lose credit for that class. If you have questions about your child's absences, please contact the school office.

It's been a great celebration week at Guy-Perkins High School! We've had students participate in our county fair (FFA, FCCLA). The ladies golf team took second place in the district and qualified for the state tournament. We have three students place in a statewide essay competition for Peace Week. We had college recruiters from University of Arkansas and Central Arkansas speak with our seniors. Finally, we had a record number of students take the Accuplacer College exam through UACCM with a majority number scoring high enough to earn a scholarship through that university. This only proves that GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING at Guy-Perkins High School!
