Paw Prints
Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
This is the final Paw Prints of the 2022-23 school year! Congratulations to all of our students, especially the class of 2023 for overcoming the obstacles that the world has provided over the past four years. I have enjoyed getting to know you all, and your impact on Steele Canyon High School will not be forgotten. Seeing you all have fun at prom last Saturday and celebrating your accomplishments at Senior Awards on Wednesday were the highlights of the past week. And although I am really excited to honor you at graduation on Thursday, I am working hard to stay in the moment and enjoy the last few days that we have the privilege of educating you at our school.
Have a safe and awesome weekend!
