Hello Parents, Students and Guardians,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable week. We are looking forward to the holiday choir/ band concerts, winter athletic events, end of fall classes and the holiday season.
This time can be stressful on our students, family, and staff. At SHS we value taking time to show compassion for others and see beyond our own experiences. Our mission is to take care of students academically, socially, emotionally, and physically by providing quality academics, college and career prep, durable skills, and belonging.
