Shepherd High School Weekly Update

Brief Message From the Principal

Hopefully you had a great Valentine's Day and you enjoy you day off on Monday too. With only 12 school days left until exams now is the time to get assignments caught up and turned in. It is time to start doing review work. Time to ask those questions you need answered for clarification. If you need extra assistance along the way we still have after school tutoring opportunities available (see schedule below).

- Mr. Cornwell, SHS Principal
