Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
This week we congratulate the accomplishments of our diverse student groups. On Tuesday, we celebrated our multi language learners with a redesignation ceremony and our PIQE parent education graduation. SCHS also hosted multiple end of the year award banquets for clubs and teams this week—notably our AVID and track programs with a combined participation number of 400 students. Our Summer Sendoff Assembly was a big success where the games and performances by all grade levels was a great closure to our school testing season. AP exams concluded yesterday with over 650 students participating in 12 different subject exams. We look forward to prom this weekend and graduation on the horizon. Parents, students, and staff: we have a lot to celebrate at this time of year.
