Graduation Week kicks off on Monday, May 13, with the Senior Walk. Our graduating students will wear their caps and gowns and visit various primary schools including Piedmont, Stagebarn, Sturgis Middle School, Sturgis Elementary, and Whitewood. Buses will be provided for transportation to these schools.

On Wednesday, May 15, senior checkout will begin at 1:30 PM. Some students may check out earlier because of their schedule, but the last official class will end at 1:30 PM.

The excitement continues on Friday, May 17, starting at 9:00 AM with our Senior Awards Ceremony, expected to last around 90 minutes. Guests are invited to attend the Awards Ceremony to celebrate the students' achievements. Following the awards, we will hold graduation practice at approximately 10:30 AM, and then our Senior BBQ will commence around 11:30 AM.

On behalf of our school staff, thank you for allowing us the privilege of guiding your child towards this moment. It has been a joy to watch them grow into remarkable young adults.

With graduation coming soon, Riverfront Broadcasting is once again conducting “Operation Graduation” promotion to salute members of the Class of 2024.

This year marks the 5th year of the program that shines the spotlight on the accomplishments of graduating seniors and offers a $500 scholarship on behalf of Riverfront Broadcasting.

Throughout the month of May, they will be airing profiles of area graduates on Eagle Country 95.9/96.3 and KDSJ 980 AM/103.5 FM. Then at the end of the month, they choose one participating graduate at random to receive a $500 scholarship.

Summer School is set up as an independent study program for those who wish to earn or recapture credits. Students will be assigned a teacher who will assist students with questions and tutoring they require.

Students who take summer school courses must be motivated, be able to comprehend what they read, and work independently. The work at SBHS Summer School is rigorous and takes self-discipline and motivation. The teachers are here to help you reach your goals; please feel free to ask questions at any time. What you get out of this experience depends on what you put into it. We have many unique opportunities and hope you will take advantage of them.

Classes Start May 28th and end June 27th. All course work must be completed by June 27th. Summer school hours are Monday work independently from home, Tuesday - Thursday from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
