Shepherd High School Weekly Update

Brief Message From the Principal

The first week back from break was a good one. If you house was like mine the evenings were quiet as my two high school students were tired and busy with school work and events. For those with Seniors it is FAFSA season. There is information below about FAFSA Nights in Midland County. If you need help these are great options or feel free to reach out to the High School and we can work with you through the process. Having done it myself it can be confusing and frustrating so don't hesitate to reach out for help.

- Mr. Cornwell, SHS Principal
