Greetings, Wildcats!


I can't believe we have already reached the end of the first grading period of the 2026–2027 school year! Time is certainly flying by.


I hope your scholars have experienced success, growth, and meaningful learning opportunities as they began this school year. As we prepare for the second grading period, I encourage each scholar to reflect on their accomplishments, identify areas for improvement, and set new goals.

Let's continue working together to make this a successful school year for every Wildcat!


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:

  • Educate the whole student

  • 90 % Graduation Rate and 95% Attendance

  • Implement Restorative Justice/Social-Emotional Learning

  • Prepare our scholars to be College and Career Ready


WE ARE THE PRIDE OF THE SOUTHSIDE!

WE ARE #RILEYSTRONG!


Sincerely,

Shawn Henderson
