Dear Riley Parents, Guardians, and Scholars,


As we embark on the final semester of the 2025–26 school year, I want to encourage our scholars and families to begin the 3rd grading period with a mindset focused on success.

This grading period represents a new chapter in each scholar’s high school journey. With a fresh start comes new opportunities to grow, improve, and achieve personal and academic goals.

Let’s be intentional about:

  • Arriving at school and class on time each day

  • Staying organized and on top of assignments and assessments

  • Communicating with teachers and staff when support is needed

When we are consistent, intentional, and committed, success will follow.


I can promise you the best of myself for your students each and every day. Please do not hesitate to contact me at shenderson2@sbcsc.k12.in.us if you have any questions or concerns during the year.


Our Goals:

1) Educate the Whole Student

2) Building Meaningful Relationships

3) A 95% attendance rate

4) A 90% graduation rate


We greatly appreciate the value that each and every one of our scholars and families brings to Riley. WE ARE THE PRIDE OF THE SOUTHSIDE! WE ARE #RILEYSTRONG!


Sincerely,

Shawn Henderson
