Scott's Branch Middle High School

We had another great week at the branch! Next week is the last week of the 2025-2026 school year, we kindly would like to remind students to make sure that they turn in their school-issued device and charger to the media center on Tuesday, May 26th.

Congratulations, to all our seniors who were recognized during senior class night! We are so proud of each of you. Special thanks to all the parents, guardians, and special guests who attended and celebrated our students with us.

Rise up, Eagle Nation, and meet the expectation!

Sunday's Senior Baccalaureate Service at Scott’s Branch Middle/High School was nothing short of inspiring! 🦅💙

Thank you to Board Member Reverend Johnny Lawson for pouring wisdom, encouragement, and truth into the lives of our seniors through a powerful message rooted in Nehemiah 6:1-3. Thank you as well to our SB Senior Choir for the uplifting selections that blessed everyone in attendance. 🎶

Rev. Lawson reminded our students to “spit out fear and swallow courage,” to stand firm, speak boldly, and never allow anyone else’s “mess” to stop their progress. He encouraged students to know who they are, make up their own minds, and be proud to be from Scott’s Branch because “you are from where it all started!” 💙

Students were challenged to:

✨ Soar like an Eagle

✨ Invest in today for the hope of tomorrow

✨ Let their light shine

✨ Break down barriers and lead the way

✨ Open their mouths and speak boldly without fear

One message that resonated throughout the gym was simple yet powerful: “Nehemiah said, ‘I have done a good work.’”

Seniors, walk proudly into your future knowing greatness already lives within you. The world is waiting on your voice, your courage, and your leadership. 🦅

On Tuesday, we celebrated and recognized the hard work and efforts of our eighth grade students. Congratulations to each of you. Thank you to all our parents, guardians, and families who were able to join us in recognizing these students. Thank you to all our student leaders who spoke at the ceremony. It took a lot of courage to stand in front of your middle school peers and speak to the student body. You all did a fantastic job and we are so proud of you! Special thank you to Mr. JoQuell "JoJo" Jackson for his inspirational message and words of wisdom. We know that your message touched the hearts of the eighth grade class. 8th graders we look forward to seeing you continue your journey next school year! Soar high, Eagles!!

On May 21st, we recognized and celebrated the SBHS class of 2026 during the Senior Class Night. We would like to thank all the parents, guardians, families, and guests who were able to attend and help us in recognizing the dedication and accomplishments of our senior class. We would like to extend a special thank you to all the presenters in attendance who presented seniors will scholarships and awards. Seniors, we are so proud of each of you and look forward to seeing you walk across the stage at graduation! We know that you will continue to work hard and strive to meet your goals and dreams.

Congratulations to 8th grader, Amyriah Richardson for completing the May Reading Bingo Challenge! Students were able to select a bingo card (Genre Bingo, Poetry Bingo, Award Winning Bingo, Library Bingo) and were tasked with completing 5 of the Bingo tasks in a row to win. Way to go, Amyriah!

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Scott’s Branch Middle/High School was proud to engage students and staff in meaningful conversations about mental wellness. Our school social worker, Marjetta J. Butler, encouraged everyone to reflect on the importance of maintaining and improving their mental health by sharing positive coping strategies, self-care practices, and ways to support one another. Each individual was encouraged to write on their white cards what they do daily to improve and maintain their mental health and awareness.

From students to staff, the responses highlighted the power of rest, talking with trusted individuals, prayer, exercise, music, family support, and taking time for self-care. These conversations reminded us that mental health is just as important as physical health.

Together, we can continue to break the stigma, encourage open dialogue, and create a supportive school community where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. 💙💛
