New Guymon Graduate!!


Gabe Hegwood son of Wesley and Tamara Hegwood completed graduation requirements and received his Guymon High School Diploma. Guymon High School Counselor Dana Martin helped Gabe reach his goals by allowing him to recover credits during TMC time in the Fall of 2009. TMC is a study hall built into 6th hour at Guymon High. There are limited positions for high school students to recover credits durng TMC. These students are able to recover up to 1 extra credit per semester. They use the same A+ curriculum as GAA students but do so, from the library under guidance of Mrs. Martin. Gabe attended GAA last year and rejoined after Christmas break lacking only 1/2 credit in Math, which he completed in a few weeks. Gabe plans to join the United States Army later this spring.
