Visiting SGCHS

Our office is open to the public from 8am-4pm, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays and PD days/breaks. See our Calendar & Events page for details.

Our doors open to students and staff beginning at 7:45am each school day. After school, our building can only be accessed through the north entrance from 4-7pm.

Parking & Transportation

Visitor parking is located on the south side of the school. Visitors may also park along the sidewalk in the bus lane from 9-2pm. Additional parking is available in the student parking lot on the north side of the school.

Please note: Due to space limitations, student parking is only available for Grade 11 and 12 students. Students must register their vehicles in the school office to obtain permission to park in the school lot.

Checking In & Out of School

Our school has two main entrances - one on the southernmost side of the school, across from the bus lane and the visitor parking lot, and another on the north side of the building, adjacent to the student parking lot.

Please note: Our building is connected to Horizon Stage, but the stage entrance and the west end school doors remain locked unless the stage is in use.

As you enter into the south entrance's foyer, turn right to reach the school office or left to reach Student Services. All visitors must sign in at the office and record their vehicle information (if applicable) before going to any area of the school.

Students who are checking in and out of school during regular class time are required to come to the main office when they are arriving or leaving to sign in or out. Unexcused absentees will receive an automated phone call home.
