We had four students recently compete in the Congressional Art Competition: Gracie Mulley, Jordan Bailey, Sydney Amburgey and Brennan Roberts.
Congratulations to Jordan Bailey, a talented junior, for winning First Place and the People’s Choice Award in the 2025 9th District Congressional Art Competition! Her stunning colored pencil drawing, “Peelin’ Myself,” earned her two round-trip tickets to Washington, D.C. for the opening ceremony!
Jordan’s artwork will hang in the Congressional Tunnel alongside winners from all 50 states for the next year — a truly incredible honor.
Great job to all four students that participated. They all had exceptional pieces of art!

1. You must be at least 15 years old to register for Driver's Ed.
2. As an additional option, you can enroll in an online Driver Education course for the instructional portion of the class if we do not have an opening during the session you would like to register for. You will still need to sign up to complete the driving portion through the High School. We recommend driversed.com. Though you can use any class approved by the BMV, that list is available by searching "Licensed Driver Training Schools-In.gov".
3. Bring the payment receipt for the on-line class to Mrs. Angie Richey at the SHS Main Office. At that time you can register for the driving portion which is $350. Mrs. Richey will issue you a CDE form stating your student is enrolled in Drivers Ed at SHS.
4. In order to obtain your Learner's Permit, take the CDE form along with a certified birth certificate, social security card and 2 documents with the student's name and address to the BMV. The SHS office can print a Harmony page that can be used as one of the address documents needed. Students will be given a test over the Indiana Drivers Manual and a vision test before obtaining their Learner's Permit.
5. Once you have completed the on-line course and obtained your Learner's Permit bring your certificate to Mrs. Richey. She will contact the driving instructor to schedule your drive times.
6. In order to take the test for your Operator License you will need to be age 16 & 90 days, have held your Learner's Permit for 180 days, completed 6 hours with a driving instructor and completed a total of 50 hours of practice with an instructor or blood relative over age 25 that has a valid drivers license.
