Principal's April Update

April has officially entered its “hold onto your coffee” phase.

Between AP testing kicking into high gear (see dates below) and seniors suddenly realizing the finish line is real, the building is buzzing with a mix of determination, excitement, and just a little bit of “wait…what day is it?” energy. It’s the season of late-night studying, countdown calendars, and big moments on the horizon.

Senior presentations wrapped up on April 29th. This is an impressive milestone and a testament to the hard work of the Class of 2026. Meanwhile, our juniors are deep into portfolio season, with final submissions due May the 4th (be with you).

As we head into the final stretch, we’re proud of the focus our students are showing—and we’re ready to celebrate all that’s ahead.

Hold on tight!

~Ms.Ward

At the request of our music students, we have relaunched a mini fundraiser to honor Ms. Young’s legacy. The goal is to raise funds to provide her children with new t-shirts and sweatshirts, while also giving SHS students and staff another opportunity to purchase commemorative gear.

An email was previously shared with current music students and staff; however, we recognize that some students who were once part of the music or drama programs may not have received that message. Many of those students had meaningful connections with Ms. Young—as a teacher, mentor, and friend—both at SHS and GMS through the play.

We want to ensure that all students who knew Ms. Young have the opportunity to participate, especially if this small gesture helps bring a sense of connection or closure. It is our hope to continue offering this fundraiser annually in her memory.

The fundraiser will remain open through May 4. The link to order is included HERE.
