Over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris visited Southfield A&T to speak to students about the importance of civic engagement and voting! It was an exciting day for everyone!

Special thanks to the White House team and SPS administration as they planned all week for this event.

Thank you to our students that participated: the marching band, dancers, students that stood on the high riser, and our student speakers Joshua and Cassidy!

Also, thank you to our volunteers and staff that worked the event!

What an amazing experience for all!

At last Friday's matchup, Southfield A&T vs. West Bloomfield, Penn State University's Head Football Coach, James Franklin arrived on campus via helicopter to scout several of the Southfield A&T and West Bloomfield players.

According to district historians, this was the first-ever grand entrance of that magnitude.

Watch the video below for a recap of this year's homecoming game! Thank you for coming out to support our Warriors!

On Friday, October 14th, SPS had a district-wide Pink Out in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Enjoy a few photos below of our students and staff showing their support for those impacted by breast cancer!

Thank you, Southfield Fire Department for visiting Stevenson last week.

Our K-2 scholars learned four valuable lessons: how/when to call 911, where smoke detectors should be installed, and how every family should have an evacuation plan. Most importantly, never hide from a firefighter in the event of a fire.

Congratulations to Temilola Olorunsola and Cedrick Coburn for winning first place at the regional debates as the only undefeated team!
