All student volunteers should meet Mrs. Garner at the top of the student section beside the press box immediately after the football game ends.

Teachers may register a team of two for free. Sign-ups will be held with Mrs. Rhodes September 11th-15th during lunch. The deadline to register a team is the end of lunch on Friday, September 15th.

Volunteers Needed for Fall Season
The HGCS Athletic Department and AAA Booster Club need the help of volunteers to assist with admissions and concessions at athletic events throughout the fall season. Please sign up for a volunteer time slot on our Sign Up Genius page.


Shopping Boss Fundraiser
HGCS hosts two major fundraisers each year to support our growth in the areas of academics (technology), fine arts and athletics from TK all the way to 12th grade. We are excited to introduce a new opportunity this fall called ShoppingBoss!

What is ShoppingBoss and how does it work? ShoppingBoss is a members-only shopping program/app that works with national retailers and restaurants. You shop like you always have at participating merchants, and when it’s time to pay, instead of giving your credit card to the cashier (or food server), you use your smartphone to buy the merchant’s digital gift card through Shopping Boss. It’s delivered to you instantly, and you use that for the purchase, getting up to 9% cash back.

For a $20 donation, you will receive an average of 6% cash back at over 250 of the biggest National Brands. All the money you make is yours to keep just for supporting HGCS! Half of each ShoppingBoss sold goes right back to HGCS to support academics, fine arts and athletics. Our goal for this fundraiser is 100% participation from every student TK - 12th grade, with each student selling at least 2 ShoppingBoss codes.

Be on the lookout next week for the official launch of the ShoppingBoss program but for now, watch this quick video to learn more about this program and how you can support our school!


Homecoming 2017
This year's Homecoming game is scheduled for Friday, September 29th. The Varsity Football team will kick-off against Asheville School at 7:00pm. Be sure to dress for "Blue & Gold Night" to support the Lions! Students who wear blue and gold to the game will be admitted for just $1. Regular admission is $5 (free for kids 10 & under). Don't miss the presentation of the Homecoming Court at halftime!

Join AAA Booster Club
Don't forget to join the AAA Booster Club for the 2017-2018 school year! Visit http://hgchristian.org/aaa/ to register now! Booster Club Membership will give you free admission to all home athletic events excluding any MAC (Conference) tournament and NCISAA (state) tournament games.
