These assignments are designed to preview topics from students’ upcoming English courses, or to practice skills that they can expect to utilize extensively in the upcoming year. At this point, students should have either received a link to a digital copy of the assignment, or received a printed packet. You can also access the assignments here: https://sites.google.com/bps-schools.com/seaholm-english-department/home/summer-reading
Our hope is that your child will find their assigned reading to be engaging and enjoyable. Please contact Jeff Gonzales (English Department Chair) if you have any questions: jgonzales@birmingham.k12.mi.us
Thank you,

Counseling Department News
Dear Seaholm Community,
After a successful year, we are ready for a restful and well-deserved summer! We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the graduating Class of 2026. We wish them all the best as they move forward and find success beyond Seaholm High School.
As we prepare for next year, we have to inform you of some changes to the Counseling Department for the 26-27 school year. Unfortunately, due to district cuts, we are saying goodbye to our longstanding Counseling Secretary, Mrs. Balow, as well as our newest counselor, Ms. Wolf. While they will be transitioning to other roles within the district, we are sad to see them leave our department and Seaholm. Their dedication and care have made a lasting impact, and they will be deeply missed by students and staff alike.
The Counseling Office is closed during the summer and does not monitor voicemail or email. Our counselors will return during the week of August 17th, and will be present to meet with students on both days of registration, which are being held on August 18th & 19th. Please note that summer email and phone communication from our office will not be available between June 22nd – August 17th due to no longer having a Counseling Secretary.
In the meantime, we’ve developed a list of Frequently Asked Questions to help guide you while the counseling office is closed for the summer. Please click the link below to review.
Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy, and relaxing summer!
