We invite you to honor and recognize our nation's heroes—veterans, active service members, and their families—at a special event filled with reflection, music, and gratitude.

🗓️ Date: Monday, November 10, 2025
⏰ Time: 11:00 AM - 11:40 AM
📍 Location: Souhegan High School Gymnasium

This meaningful occasion will feature inspired readings, moving performances, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude. We welcome the community to join us in paying tribute.

Grades have now closed for mid-semester 1. Progress reports will be available on PowerSchool by 3:00 PM on November 13. This interim period allows teachers to finalize grades, and we encourage students and families to review assignment scores and communicate with teachers regarding any questions or concerns. Course scores are rolling, and the progress report reflects learning progress up to that date, while final scores will be communicated on transcripts. Additionally, at the end of each reporting period (November, January, April), students with off-campus privileges and their parents will be notified of any changes to their status based on academic performance and adherence to the student handbook.

Next week, families of 9th and 10th graders will receive a copy of their student’s report for the Star Math and Star Reading universal screeners. The reports will be accompanied by a letter explaining the purpose of the universal screener and the data it communicates and will be sent via mail.

Stay up to date with tips, resources, and updates from our Health & Wellness departments!

While Council didn’t meet this week, Community Council and Ethics Forum had the pleasure of welcoming 20 students and faculty from Oyster River High School! Visitors spent the day learning about Souhegan’s approach to student leadership and voice.

Souhegan students led the way with tours, small-group discussions, and Q&A panels—showcasing what authentic, student-driven leadership looks like in action.

📅 Our next meeting will be a night meeting on Monday, November 10, from 5:00–7:00 PM in Room A116.

Take a moment to be thankful for all the fun, friendships, and milestones that make this school year special. Make sure you don’t miss out, secure your copy of the 2026 yearbook today before they’re gone!

🏈 Your Souhegan Sabers take on Saint Thomas in the first round of playoffs!

📆 Saturday, November 8 I ⏰ 1:00 PM I 📍 Calvetti Field

🎟️ Tickets available online using this link

💵 Admission at the gate is cash only:

$5 Students/Seniors | $7 Adults

🎉Two Sabers, Samantha Swanbon and Brynn Siska, have qualified for New Englands!

Samantha placed 10th and Brynn placed 15th at the Meet of Champions, ranking among the top 25 fastest runners in New Hampshire!

And that’s not all — Siska was the fastest freshman girl in the entire state! 🏃🏻‍♀️

After a spectacular regular season, the Sabers entered the state tournament as the #1 seed, earning a first-round bye. In the quarterfinals, they hosted Kingswood and posted a commanding 4–0 victory. That win set up a semifinal rematch with Oyster River — the only team to defeat Souhegan during the regular season. This time, the outcome was different, as the Sabers secured a hard-fought 1–0 win to punch their ticket to the championship game. The lone goal came from senior captain Ella Normandin, off a feed from Mariellah Dart, just 1:22 into the game.

Awaiting them in the final was the #2-seeded Bow Falcons, a team that tied Souhegan just weeks earlier. Bow struck first, but the Sabers quickly responded. Junior Oriannah Dart converted a penalty stroke just four minutes later to even the score. In the second half, the Sabers took control, generating seven consecutive penalty corners before freshman Mariellah Dart buried the game-winner with just over six minutes remaining.

The victory marked Souhegan’s fourth championship appearance in six years and their first state title since 2007 — a historic finish to an outstanding season.

Several Sabers were also recognized with postseason honors from the New Hampshire Field Hockey Coaches Association:

• 1st Team All-State: Junior, Oriannah Dart and Freshman, Mariellah Dart
• 2nd Team All-State: Junior, Ella Russell and Junior Captain, Eme Godin

• Honorable Mention: Senior Captain, Amelia Warecki and Junior, Avery Wyborney
• Offensive Player of the Year: Oriannah Dart
• Coach of the Year: Kelli Braley
