Congratulations to Brendan Mowry on being nominated for a “Student Spartan Award.” Students are recognized by teachers and staff for their involvement with something positive for the school culture and community. Students will also be entered into a raffle for a Cold Brook Cafe gift certificate. Thank you to Mrs. Segar for arranging this gift certificate and Cold Brook Cafe for your generosity. Keep up the amazing work and continue to be outstanding Scituate Spartan in and out of the classroom!

Last week Entrepreneurship students participated in our high school's business pitch competition sponsored by Navigant Credit Union where students had the chance to earn funds for their business pitch ideas! In this short video, our Entrepreneurship Instructor Mr. Ballou talks about the competition, followed by an interview with Austin and Aidan, our students who won first and second place!

Did you know we offer Intro to Sports Medicine as part of our Fitness Instructor Pathway program? Students will explore careers in Sports Medicine and Movement Science. Scituate students learn how principles from Biomechanics and Physiology are applied by Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists, and other specialists. Later in the year, students learn the application of fitness principles in 'Physical Training for active Careers' the second course in the pathway. The Fitness Instructor Endorsement can be earned simultaneously while enrolled in other pathways here at Scituate High School. Check out our student made video!

While we understand there are a lot of illness going around Scituate and RI right now, we want to encourage our students to come to school everyday if you are not sick. Currently, 17.4% of Scituate High School are deemed "chronically absent" which is determined as 18% of the school year. We currently rank 96th of all schools in RI for chronic absenteeism. Please come to school if you are not sick... we need you!!
