Our cafeteria offers a full breakfast and lunch each day. All meals are lovingly prepared by our cafeteria staff and are very good. The meals are nutritionally balanced and there are a variety of food choices each day. Hamburgers and salad are offered each day for people who do not care for the featured daily meal.

Although there is no pool on the roof of A building, or on the GHS campus, we do have a swim team. We also have a plethora of varsity sports teams, as well as some club sports including rugby.

If this question seems odd, you may not know that there is a campus tradition of seniors telling freshmen that there is a pool on the roof of A building--so make sure you play along.

The simplest thing to remember is "for academic purposes, with teacher approval." If you are missing one of those things, assume you cannot use your phone or other technology at all during school hours. If you have both, then you are good. It never hurts to ask a teacher, if in doubt.

During school hours, you are expected to keep your phone put away, unless your teacher gives you permission to use it for a specific activity. Keep in mind, when you are given permission to use it, it's for academic purposes and you are expected to only be working on the class activity (not working while bouncing to another app) and the permission is just for that class activity. When class ends or you switch activites, assume you no longer have permission to use the phone.

If you aren't using the phone for a class, with teacher approval, be aware a teacher is likely to ask for the phone. If you refuse to give it to them, you'll likely have three days out of school suspension. If you give it to them, a parent or legal guardian can get the phone from M office (the main office) the next school day. Repeated phone violations will lead to progressive discipline--though those are going to be less than the punishment for refusing to give up the phone.

Germantown High School does not have a uniform and does not plan to institute one, unless students non-compliance with the current dress code becomes too much of a problem.  The current dress code policy can be found here.  This document outlines the consequences for dress code violations.

Germantown High School offers one of the most diverse student populations in Tennessee. We are home to many different nationalities and our students speak many different native languages at their homes each day.

V gym is located at the very back of the campus, near the football stadium. It is not in V building. We're not sure why.
