Family Perception Survey
Dear Families,
We're inviting you to participate in our annual Family Perception Survey. Your feedback is incredibly valuable as we work to make our school the best it can be.
This short survey gives you an opportunity to share your thoughts on various aspects of our school environment, from communication to student support. Your responses will help us understand what we're doing well and where we can improve.
Please complete the survey by Friday, June 13. The survey is brief and should only take a few minutes to complete.
You can access the survey here: Family Perception Survey
Thank you in advance for your time and honest feedback. We appreciate your partnership in your child's education.
Best,
Aaron Fezzey
Superior High School Principal

Kudos to Drama
We received a parent message to acknowledge the impact Mr. Wolfe and Ms. Gilbert made on their Spartan during the drama production. The message includes gratitude expressed for:
"Ms. Gilbert and Mr. Wolfe for the inclusive, encouraging, supportive community they have built. Having this community made (my Spartan) part of the school...it was often the bright spot of (their) day. (My student) met encouraging, wonderful people, was appreciated for (their) hard work and resilience, and was supported when (they) were struggling. These teachers don't just notice the "stars" of the show, they notice every single student. And the fact that they notice each student motivates them to keep showing up and pushing themselves to continue growing/taking risks. I am so grateful for the SHS Theatre Department and that theatre is available for students."
We have #spartanPRIDE for our theatre department for empowering our Spartans! Kudos, Ms. Gilbert and Mr. Wolfe! Follow our social media for news on the Spartan Drama Fall performance!
