Greenwood High School Ms. Cathi Dempsey dempseyc@gwd50.org English Teacher About Me I am a graduate of Greenwood High School and Lander University. This year marks my third year as an English teacher at Greenwood High School. I am happily married and expecting my first child, a son, in May. My hobbies include reading, watching movies, and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to many more years working with teenage students in the Greenwood area.
End of Course All English I students will take the statewide End of Course test as their final exam. This exam will count as 20% of the final average in this class. We will work through the standards addressed on this test in a variety of ways throughout the semester. Make-Up Work Any make-up work is due the day after your child returns to school without penalty. All tests should be made up within one week following your child’s return to school. All make-up tests should be scheduled with me at least one day in advance. Please contact me at school in the event of any serious situation.
