Good evening! This is Principal Hettenbach from High Point Central High School with a message from the Boulevard.
At this time of the year it is important to realize that we have very little time left until the end of the 3rd quarter and of course, the end of the year. With that being said, we only have 2 weeks left before the end of the 3rd quarter, which ends on the 28th of March. I can not emphasize enough the importance of coming to school on time every day and giving it your all. Learning Hubs is a wonderful opportunity to catch up with any work or receive tutoring. We offer this every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:15 to 6:00 in the media center.
While this week’s message is very much an emphasis on how little time we have left, I also present a challenge for everyone. When finishing this message, do you know how to access your student’s grades? If not, I challenge you to call the school and ask for assistance so you can get access and monitor your student’s grades on a weekly basis for the rest of the year. This process will empower you to be the best advocate for your student.
Thank you to the four middle schools that have visited our IB program. Students were able to experience live instruction, talk with a student panel, and take home a free t-shirt. We are accepting IB applications for the 2025-2026 school year. Email David Williams (IB Coordinator – williad2@gcsnc.com) or Kathryn Lutterloh (Assistant Principal – lutterk@gcsnc.com) for more info or to set up a tour. Wellborn Middle is scheduled to visit us on March 4th!

I hope you have heard the amazing news! High Point Central was named the prestigious Hubert Humphrey Most Improved School at the state of the county banquet. This is a testament to the passion and perseverance of our amazing staff, the students that work hard, use resources in front of them and set high goals. The parents and guardians who advocate for their student while also supporting the school, and of course our powerful alumni and community members! If you have not seen the news segment, simply go to google and type in High Point Central Hubert Humphrey award. WFMY did a great job!
As we continue to navigate through the year, please make sure you are following our athletics clear bag policy.
Sign Up Today for Free High-Speed Internet for 2+ years

As we have all learned, having internet access to classroom tools (now) and job opportunities and health services (lifelong) are fundamental to success in today’s classroom and society.
This program is truly as good as it sounds with NO added costs or strings attached. You will be contacted shortly by school officials to describe program benefits, including:
Flexible, no-cost access to high-speed home internet through June 2026.
