Message from Principal Tesch
Hello Spartan Families,
I'm so happy to finally be here! Thank you all for the incredibly warm welcome as I step into the role of Interim Principal at SHS.
Though a mountain bike injury delayed my start, I've had a wonderful week getting to know the students and staff and immersing myself in all the great things happening at SHS.
Our recent Homecoming week was a fantastic introduction, what an amazing display of Spartan Pride and school spirit! Congratulations to our Student Council for putting on such a successful week of events, from the parade to the assembly.
I look forward to working alongside you to support and celebrate our entire Spartan community!
Sincerely,
Kate Tesch
