Dear Scituate Spartan Community,
At Scituate High School we strive for excellence and your voice is important! We need to know all of the amazing areas that we are doing well in and where we need to improve. Each year, the RI Department of Education asks families and students to complete an anonymous survey. The data from this survey will be reported on our yearly school accountability rating for all to see. This year, we hope to get as close to 100% as possible! Let's show the state that the Scituate Spartans are the best! The SurveyWorks Stakeholder Survey Initiative is an effort to gather information that will help improve the quality of schools across Rhode Island. The surveys capture and assess information that helps educators understand and act upon what students, teachers, support professionals, administrators, and parents say about the climate, culture, and learning environments in their schools. The survey window will close on March 31, 2025. (Click link below) Thank you for your support, partnership, and commitment to Scituate High School!
Please note that when completing questions that are on a 1 through 5 scale, RIDE considers 1, 2, & 3 a "negative rating" while 4 &5 are "positive." In other words, 3 is not neutral.
All students will complete the surveyworks survey in ELA class during the week of 2/10/25

Hello Scituate High School Families,
Below are details pertaining to our testing day on March 25, 2025 for Scituate High School. All 9th grade students take the PSAT9. This is not only an opportunity for students to familiarize themselves with the College Board Suite, in preparation for the PSAT10 next year and SAT in their junior year, which are required state assessments, but also give us important data in ELA and math so we can determine which skills students have mastered and areas of need. This, in turn, allows us to support our students as they progress through their high school years.

Scituate Scholarship Foundation CLOSES MARCH 28th!!
The Scituate Scholarship Program. The following details were communicated to all who attended:
ANY student who is a resident of Scituate graduating from an accredited high school is eligible to apply for consideration of all scholarships awarded.
ANY out of district student enrolled in a SHS CTE pathway is eligible to apply for consideration of the Lion’s CTE scholarship.
It is strongly recommended applicants include the SAR page of the FAFSA (page that shows student’s SAI#) with their scholarship application. Financial need is weighed heavily in the review process so applications without an SAI# will be at a significant disadvantage. Student’s should not include their entire FAFSA with their application, only the page with the SAI#.
Applications are due by March 28th, 2025
Students who are selected to receive a scholarship will be notified in May and will be recognized at Senior Awards night.
Recipients will receive an envelope with an acknowledgement form that must be completed and returned to Mrs. Erickson prior to the week of graduation.
Checks will be made payable to the institution but mailed to the student in August, prior to students leaving for school. Students are responsible for delivering the check to the financial aid office when they arrive on campus so the school can credit their account.
*The Scituate Scholarship Fund is owned and operated by the Town of Scituate and Scituate Lion’s. The criteria for eligibility of awards and the selection of recipients is determined by the Town. Scituate High School is proud to facilitate the application process for the town but is not responsible for eligibility criteria or decisions made by any town organization or committee.*
