Message from Principal Haroldson Message from Principal Haroldson

Dear SHS Families,


It is hard to believe how quickly this semester is flying by! Our hallways have been buzzing with energy lately, and it has been a true highlight to see so many families back in the building for our recent conferences.


I especially want to extend my congratulations to our seniors. Seeing your Senior Projects come to life was inspiring; the hard work, creativity, and dedication on display are a testament to the incredible young adults you are becoming.


A huge "thank you" to our families for your support during our recent Pre-ACT testing. Because of your efforts in getting students to school prepared and on time, we achieved a participation rate of over 90% on test day! This data is invaluable for helping our students navigate their post-secondary goals, and we couldn't have done it without your partnership.


As we move into the next phase of the term, let's keep this momentum going!


Mr. Haroldson, Principal
