The third trimesters starts tomorrow (3/10), the school year has gone by so fast and the busiest part of it is yet to come. As with all things it is important to finish strong and to tackle challenges head on. Maybe you have a class coming up that you aren't excited about or maybe your schedule really gets busy. Either way, do your best with your situation, seek help as you need it and put forth your best effort.

- Mr. Cornwell, SHS Principal

On April 9th (Sophomores) and April 10th (Freshman) we will be going to Dow Diamond and Dow Gardens. Each day we will be leaving school at 8:15 and return at 2:45 and will be providing a sack lunch for students. To best help us plan for this experience we need students NOT planning on attending to complete and return this OPT OUT form before March 20, 2025.
