All Night Grad Party Planning

SHS has an annual tradition of an all-night party for our graduates, organized and hosted by parents. This year the party will be held on the evening of graduation on Friday, May 31st. We need all hands on deck to pull off this celebration! Interested in helping? Here are a few ways:

  • Sign up to help set up or help at the event. Please sign up by filling out your info on this form. Our school district is requiring that all volunteers in our buildings pass a two part background check. Once you complete the sign up, you will be sent info for completing the background check. We do want to get a jump on this to complete it so that we are ready to go by the time May comes around, so please sign up asap.
  • Join the planning committee if you'd like to help even further. The committee will meet next on Wednesday, March,6th at 6pm in the SHS Library Conference Room. Parents of underclassmen are encouraged to join the committee to learn more and be able to carry on this tradition. I promise you, you can take on as much as you are comfortable with and it is a great way to mingle with other SHS parents.
  • Support: Birds Bar will be hosting a meat raffle on March 27th at 6pm. All proceeds go toward the party fund. The more that can be raised, the better experience we can give the students this year, and also start a nest egg for next year.,
  • Donations: If you know a businesses or individual that would like to make a donation, please connect with Nicky Wilson at nickyw2433@gmail.com and she can assist you.


This event is a really awesome tradition that is unique to SHS. Thank you for any way you are able to help this fun and safe way for our students to celebrate!

Hidden In Plain Sight

Hidden In Plain Sight exhibit will be set up during both conference nights. This is an opportunity for parents, teachers, and others who work with adolescents to experience and explore a mock environment of a teenager and learn to spot signs of possible substance use and risky behavior. Stop by the library conference room to view the exhibit and learn warning signs. Since this program is for adults only, Pledgemakers and Project Reach Out will be available for students to do an activity while they wait for you.
