There’s nothing quite like April at SHS. It’s that bittersweet time of year where we enjoy the beautiful weather while preparing to say "see you later" to our graduating seniors. As they prepare for their next chapters—and as the rest of us try to remember how to sit in a classroom when it’s 70 degrees outside—let’s make sure we stay focused on our current goals.

We are coming off a very productive start to the month, including a successful PSAT/SAT administration (huge props to everyone for surviving the silence) and the well-deserved recognition of our winter athletes for their hard work and accomplishments. It is truly inspiring to see our students excelling both in the classroom and on the field, even as "Senioritis" begins its annual, highly contagious spread.

Graduation will be here before we know it—let’s keep the momentum going (and maybe some of that caffeine, too)! Please note the important dates and deadlines at the bottom of the memo!

Warmly,

~Ms. Ward
