PSAT/SAT Testing

 Updating information:
Has your phone number, address, or email changed?  If yes, please email Tanya McCorkle at tanyamccorkle@hgchristian.org and update your information. It is important that we have correct contact information on file.
Precious Cargo - Adoption and the Gospel Follow Up:
In response to the Adoption and the Gospel event on October 1st with Dr. Russell Moore and Hickory Grove Baptist Church, HGCS seeks to support families and children in need when it comes to adoption and foster care. Please take a moment watch this short video from Elizabeth and Adam Hamilton about how we can support foster care children in our area.
We are asking for everyone to bring in gently used or new duffel bags to be given to different foster care agencies. If students would like to add basic items such as hygiene items, fleece blankets, pjs, socks, diapers, and wipes, books, toys, or other children items to be placed in the bags, that would be an added bonus. Students can give the items to their homeroom teacher to be collected. No "boxy" suitcases please.


Please be in prayer for the 11,000+ children in North Carolina who are currently in foster care.


Invite Your Friends & Family to Open House:

HGCS will be hosting an Open House on November 2nd as well as several more over the next few months. We know that you, our current families, are the best way for prospective families to learn about what HGCS has to offer. We hope that you will invite your friends to come see what makes your school “Distinctively Different, Distinctively Christian”.

There are a few ways you can do this:

  1. Pick up some Open House postcards in the school offices or by one of the two TV’s in the Education Center 1st floor hallway
  2. If you are on facebook, share this Open House Event (http://bit.ly/HGCSOpenHouse) with your facebook friends
  3. Talk to your friends about why you chose HGCS and what makes your school special
  4. Direct them to http://hgchristian.org/admissions/open-house/ for more information
  5. Pray that the Lord would give discernment and wisdom to families who are making decisions about where to send their children to school next year.
