Sandwich High School, learning today, shaping tomorrow.
Welcome
We have arrived at the busiest time of the school year. Spring sports are underway and senior-its has impacted the majority of the class of 2025. As we work toward ending the school year strong, please help us by checking in with your student to make sure they are being successful in their academics. If you need assistance, you can always call the office and schedule an appointment with teachers, counselors, or administrators.
Core Values at Sandwich High School
This year we will be focusing on Sandwich 430’s Core Values: Growth Mindset, Responsibility, Respect, Collaboration, Empathy, Integrity and Citizenship. Each month we will emphasize a different value throughout the school year. The month of November we will be focusing on responsibility. Having responsibility means that the students are dependable, keeping promises, and honoring their commitments. We will be encouraging the students to be prepared, reliable and accountable.
