There are 3 virtual fairs scheduled this fall on September 11, October 9, and November 6. Before the fair, go to the NACAC website to register and to check out the college representatives who will be in attendance.
Students can also schedule a virtual or in-person campus visit directly with the school of their choice.
HS Class of 2023:
Class of 2023 Scholarship Seekers:
If you are a high-achieving, goal-driven college bound student with a genuine financial need to make attending college a reality, then this scholarship opportunity is for YOU. The Hagan Scholarship is a nationwide need-based merit scholarship providing recipients with the opportunity to graduate from college debt free. Up to 600 scholarships in the amount of $6,000 per semester will be awarded. Hagan scholars can apply to extend their scholarship for graduate school as well as study abroad programs. Recipients are selected based on academic ability, achievement in and out of school, personal goals, and future promise. Learn more about the Hagan Scholarship using this link or see Mrs. Decker in the Counseling office for the Hagan brochure and Tip Sheet. Apply online and make it your goal to submit it before the December 1, 2022 deadline.
SAT and ACT
If your child plans to attend a 4-year college next fall and has not yet taken the SAT or ACT, he/she needs to register online. Both are college admissions exams which are required for admission to a 4-year college or university although some universities are “test-optional” now. Nearly all colleges will accept results from either test. We encourage all students to take each one at least once and repeat the one they are most comfortable with.
Register for the SAT online at https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org and at www.act.org for the ACT.
Seniors, take the SAT/ACT again to improve your scores and increase your chances for financial aid and admission. Juniors, you should take the SAT and ACT twice this year. Don't delay! Sign up now.
Free online test preparation websites include Khan Academy, www.march2success.com and
Fee waivers are available in the counseling office for students who qualify for the free and reduced lunch program or are 21 st Century Scholars.
College Representatives:
There are two ways for students to meet with college representatives. First, juniors and seniors are allotted two campus visits per year to tour the campus of their choice. Contact the college admissions office directly to schedule a visit. Pre-arranged absence forms are available in the front office or online and must be completed five days prior to absence.
Secondly, college representatives schedule visits at SHS throughout the fall. The college representatives discuss major areas of study, special programs, application timelines and procedures, scholarships and financial aid, housing and many other important topics. The representatives also answer individual questions that students may have. To see a list of the scheduled college information sessions and register to attend, juniors and seniors should log in to their Naviance account and go to the Colleges>College Visits tab. Students must register at least a day in advance in order to be approved to attend.
Military representatives also visit the high school on a monthly basis. They are usually in the cafeteria at lunchtime to answer students’ questions.
Congratulations October's Bears Best Winners!
These students exemplified the Golden Bear Way trait of “Effort”!

Congratulations to our SHS Staff Member of the Month for October!
Lindsay Tillison
Mrs. Tillison is a member of the English department. She has gone above and beyond this school year to ensure our students had their first "normal" Homecoming experience in years. The students' collective energy, school spirit, and pride have been night and day different than years past, and they've been excited to participate; all of this is a result of Lindsay's efforts with student council and her strong desire to truly build student leadership. She has been setting high expectations for her students (both in the classroom and with student council), and her students respond to the challenge. It is obvious she cares deeply about each of her students, our entire school, and our community. She deserves this. :)
Lyndsay did an amazing job organizing and promoting Homecoming.
About Mrs. Tillison:
My husband, Jacob, and I live on a small farm towards Rushville with our two children. Emmalyn is a first grader at Hendricks, and Miles is two. Outside of my kiddos activities and school my down time is spent at the gym, helping my aunt at her shipping business, and hiking. I am currently in my sixth year of teaching, all of which have been at SHS. I am sponsor of the student council, and am working on bringing the newspaper back this year.
The thing she loves most about SHS is the connections that she's made, not only with her coworkers, but also her students and community members.
