Shepherd High School Weekly Update

We have just a two short weeks left of the 2025-2026 school year! Remember that there is no school Monday (5/26) in observance of Memorial Day and that next week is the last week of school with a half day on Thursday. Thank you all for a great school year, now let's finish strong and set the stage for next year! Below is a link to the parent CKH survey, if you have not yet completed it please take a few minutes. Your responses will help us evaluate how this year went and how to best prepare for next year.
