Principal's Note:
Dear Spartans,
It is hard to imagine that we are almost to Thanksgiving Recess. It seems like just yesterday that we started school. Let’s make the most out of the short week. Only two days of setting the alarm clock!
SHS Bronze Honor Roll – AP College Board
Stevenson High School achieved Bronze Honor Roll Status for the 2022-23 school year.
For a school to be recognized on the AP School Honor Roll, it must meet each of the following criteria anchored in research-based relationships between AP and college outcomes:
• College Culture: 40% or more of the graduating cohort took at least 1 AP Exam during high school.
• College Credit: 25% or more of the graduating cohort scored a 3 or higher on at least 1 AP Exam during high school.
• College Optimization: 2% or more of the graduating cohort took 5 or more AP Exams during high school.

Looking for assistance with any writing assignment. We are now offering a drop in writing lab during lunch time. Students can bring their lunch and receive some assistance with the writing assignments.

CC Connections - Parent Information Series #1 - Career Resources & Your Students' Postsecondary Planning
Wednesday, October 25th @ 6:00 PM
Depression, irritability, and anger. All can be so closely interwoven for youth as they navigate the adolescent and young adult years. While some people may say, “it’s just being a teenager”, that is not always the case for every teenager. For those parents or guardians experiencing these emotions from their teenager, it can be discomforting not knowing if it is indeed just typical teenage growth or something more significant.
The Child Mind Institute, which is a national independent nonprofit in children’s mental health, provides numerous evidence-based resources for families and educators. Below are a few of the resources on the topic of depression in teens that can be found on their website.
Keep in mind that no article or video can diagnose if a child is dealing with more than typical childhood development. So, if you are concerned, consider following up with your child’s pediatrician or your family doctor about those concerns.
Depression and Irritability
What is Depression?
Kenya Hameed, PsyD, Clinical Neuropsychologist offers guidance for parents/guardians.
If Your Teenager is Depressed
We will continue to sell Family Passes for $90, but we have DECREASED student passes from $45 to $20. Come back to the Athletic office during the school day or inquire at any sporting event.
Spartan GoFan link can be found here for all of our events. When redeeming your GoFan ticket, please do not submit your ticket(s) until you are AT the gate with ticket personnel. Screenshots will not be accepted.
Know before you go which payments are accepted
Admission Price per Event NOW $6
