SHS Family News

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
