Principal's Address
Dear Salisbury Composite High School Community,
We’re already at the halfway point of semester one—time really flies once we get into the swing of things. With parent-teacher interviews coming up next week, please ensure your child is staying on top of any missed assignments and assessments.
On Tuesday, November 5th, the District Your Future Career Fair will take place at the Agora Center, coinciding with our parent-teacher interviews. It’s a great chance to attend both events, park once, and make the most of the evening!
On a different subject, it is with mixed emotions that we temporarily bid farewell to Mrs. Clark. Mrs. Clark has accepted the Acting Principal position at FR Haythorne Junior High School, and we extend our sincerest well wishes to her as she embarks on this new experience. In light of Mrs. Clark's departure, we warmly welcome Mrs. Horne as her replacement.
Thank you,
Mr. Curtis Starko
Principal

Resources for Parents: Help Your Children Plan Their Careers - alis
Your child may be going back to school, getting a job or both. As a parent, you know that they will need to learn how to track their spending, manage loans and credit, budget properly and find other sources of funding like scholarships, bursaries and student aid. These resources can help.
Did you know….Grade 11 marks are used for early acceptance to universities and colleges.
