SHS has an annual tradition of an all-night party for our graduates, organized and hosted by parents. This year the party will be held on the evening of graduation on Friday, May 31st. We need all hands on deck to pull off this celebration! Interested in helping? Here are a few ways:

• Sign up to help set up or help at the event. Please sign up by filling out your info on this form. Our school district is requiring that all volunteers in our buildings pass a two part background check. Once you complete the sign up, you will be sent info for completing the background check. We do want to get a jump on this to complete it so that we are ready to go by the time May comes around, so please sign up asap.
• Join the planning committee if you'd like to help even further. The committee will meet next on February 7th at 6pm in the SHS Library Conference Room. Parents of underclassmen are encouraged to join the committee to learn more and be able to carry on this tradition. I promise you, you can take on as much as you are comfortable with and it is a great way to mingle with other SHS parents.

This event is a really awesome tradition that is unique to SHS. Thank you for any way you are able to help this fun and safe way for our students to celebrate. To get involved, please email Nicky Wilson at nickyw2433@gmail.com.

If you plan to help out at Superior High School, please visit the link below and complete the 2 PART process. If you need assistance with the fee associated with the background check, please email leann.egnash@superior.k12.wi.us and she can help you. We do not want this fee to deter you from making a positive difference at our school. You can specify in your application if you want it to include multiple schools within our district. This check is valid for one year from the date it is complete.

And will meet with 10th graders on 2/6, and 11th graders on 2/7.

Students spent around 20 hours in committee sessions seeking resolution to complex past, present, and future world issues, ranging from addressing Islamophobia to promoting agriculture on We are happy to report that they had smooth travels, decent weather, and the students were quite involved in their committee work! Please ask students about their unique experiences with research, public speaking, interpersonal communication, debate, negotiation, collaborative writing, navigating a big city, and meeting students from all over our country and the world.
