Dear Scituate Spartan Community,
At Scituate High School we strive for excellence and your voice is important! We need to know all of the amazing areas that we are doing well in and where we need to improve. Each year, the RI Department of Education asks families and students to complete an anonymous survey. The data from this survey will be reported on our yearly school accountability rating for all to see. This year, we hope to get as close to 100% as possible! Let's show the state that the Scituate Spartans are the best! The SurveyWorks Stakeholder Survey Initiative is an effort to gather information that will help improve the quality of schools across Rhode Island. The surveys capture and assess information that helps educators understand and act upon what students, teachers, support professionals, administrators, and parents say about the climate, culture, and learning environments in their schools. The survey window will close on March 31, 2025. (Click link below) Thank you for your support, partnership, and commitment to Scituate High School!
Please note that when completing questions that are on a 1 through 5 scale, RIDE considers 1, 2, & 3 a "negative rating" while 4 &5 are "positive." In other words, 3 is not neutral.
All students will complete the surveyworks survey in ELA class during the week of 2/10/25
From National Honor Society

Hi everyone
We are really excited about our upcoming pops concert on 3/19//25 at Scituate High School.
I know all of us at the Scituate Music Association are looking forward to seeing everyone
perform. The SMA knows how hard all the members of the chorus and the band work to put on
a great performance, and we wanted to find a way to let them know how great they are, so we
created a fun way to let them know how proud we all are of their hard work and commitment.
We call them Shout Outs
A shout out is an announcement of 50 words or less that will be printed in our pops concert
program. You can just click on the link below and address the message to your student
musician, you can even address one to your favorite music teacher. Each shout out is a quick
and easy way to let your friend or family know you care and give them a lasting memory. Each
shout out is just 10$ and payable by credit card. Just click on the link below.

Hello Scituate High School Families,
Below are details pertaining to our testing day on March 25, 2025 for Scituate High School. All 9th grade students take the PSAT9. This is not only an opportunity for students to familiarize themselves with the College Board Suite, in preparation for the PSAT10 next year and SAT in their junior year, which are required state assessments, but also give us important data in ELA and math so we can determine which skills students have mastered and areas of need. This, in turn, allows us to support our students as they progress through their high school years.
National History Academy High School Residential Program for Students in Grades 10-12
National History Academy is a 4-week residential summer program for rising 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students based in Middleburg, VA during the month of July. Students will walk in the footsteps of leaders who helped define and shape the American story and focus on critical events in our history – the creation of the Constitution, political division leading to Civil War, Martin Luther King’s fight for civil rights and voting rights, and women’s struggle for equal rights in America – while relating our country’s history to the serious challenges we face as a country today.
The Academy will run from July 6 to August 1, just outside Washington, DC, and offers an immersive experience in American history, law, and government. This program is open to rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders, with 90 spots available. In addition to classroom learning, students will visit historical sites, meet scholars and leaders, and engage in a parliamentary debate program. For a preview of the Academy’s impact, take a look at this short video featuring past participants.
Founded in 2018, the Academy aims to address the growing crisis in civic and historical literacy. The History of American Democracy curriculum, developed by Harvard Business School Professor David Moss, uses case studies to help students engage with key historical events.
Visit their site for more information. Financial aid available.

SHS College Planning Night!
Open to students/parents in grades 9-11. VERY IMPORTANT for Junior Families!
April 2nd 6:30pm in the Library
All College Bound students and at least 1 parent should make every effort to attend this informational event, featuring a FAFSA presentation from RISLA and information about your school counselors role in the college admissions process. All this and more, to prepare students for what to expect and how to navigate the application process at SHS!
Scituate Scholarship Foundation NOW OPEN!
The Scituate Scholarship Program. The following details were communicated to all who attended:
ANY student who is a resident of Scituate graduating from an accredited high school is eligible to apply for consideration of all scholarships awarded.
ANY out of district student enrolled in a SHS CTE pathway is eligible to apply for consideration of the Lion’s CTE scholarship.
It is strongly recommended applicants include the SAR page of the FAFSA (page that shows student’s SAI#) with their scholarship application. Financial need is weighed heavily in the review process so applications without an SAI# will be at a significant disadvantage. Student’s should not include their entire FAFSA with their application, only the page with the SAI#.
Applications are due by March 28th, 2025
Students who are selected to receive a scholarship will be notified in May and will be recognized at Senior Awards night.
Recipients will receive an envelope with an acknowledgement form that must be completed and returned to Mrs. Erickson prior to the week of graduation.
Checks will be made payable to the institution but mailed to the student in August, prior to students leaving for school. Students are responsible for delivering the check to the financial aid office when they arrive on campus so the school can credit their account.
*The Scituate Scholarship Fund is owned and operated by the Town of Scituate and Scituate Lion’s. The criteria for eligibility of awards and the selection of recipients is determined by the Town. Scituate High School is proud to facilitate the application process for the town but is not responsible for eligibility criteria or decisions made by any town organization or committee.*
Please consider donating to the Dan Casey Memorial Scholarship Fund. (The scholarship awards graduating Scituate High School seniors on it’s wrestling team, where he taught, coached and was a director of guidance)
Kindly use the below link, (it’s easy) typing in ‘Dan Casey Memorial Scholaship Fund’ in the ‘in memory of’ box. Thank you so much for your support and for your generosity for these students and for helping his legacy live on.
