Reflecting on the school year so far, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude. 2024 has been a year of growth, challenges, and many moments of celebration, and I am so thankful to be part of this Souhegan community. I’ve witnessed our students push themselves to new heights and our school come together in the spirit of collaboration and care. As we look toward the new year, I’m filled with hope for the opportunities and experiences yet to come. My wish for all of us is that we continue to embrace the journey ahead with kindness and curiosity, united by the belief that there is strength in community. I can’t wait to see what we achieve together in 2025.

Best wishes for a restful break!

Holiday Movie Night

The Student Activities Committee is hosting a holiday movie night on Friday, the 20th at Mont Vernon Village School, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm! Show up for concessions, activities, and a movie! Admission is free but donations are encouraged. We hope to see you there!

Last Friday, the Souhegan band and choir hit the road to spread some holiday cheer and music across the SAU 39 district! It was a joyful day filled with festive tunes and lots of smiles.

On Thursday, January 16th, the Student Services Department will be holding evening presentations for students and families regarding Post-Secondary Planning & Course Selection. Our goal is to equip students and families with information that will be helpful for them as they navigate course selection decisions in consideration of their post-secondary goals. See below for details for specific grade-level students:

Current 11th Grade (Rising Seniors): The 11th Grade School Counselors will each present to rising seniors and their families about the college admissions process. The scope of the presentation will include factors to consider in the college search process, the admissions timeline, the application process, and course selection considerations for senior year. In an effort to have a more intimate presentation that encourages dialog, Erin and Megan will present separately in classrooms to students and families from their caseload. They will be sending a direct email invite to families when we return from the holiday break.

Current 9th and 10th Grade (Rising Sophomores & Juniors) - Theater:
Kylé and Kara will present to rising Sophomores and Juniors in the theater regarding course selection & post-secondary planning. The presentation will emphasize decisions that students can make in high school, particularly through the course selection process, to help them achieve their post-secondary goals. Included in the presentation will be factors to consider in the college admissions process and some information about tools for initiating the college search process.

These presentations will be preceded by the Math Acceleration Info Session, being held from 6:00-6:45 that night. Student Services will send direct communication reminding families of the event when we return in early January.

Our next Senior Project panel meeting is not until February 8th, and although it seems like a long way from now, this checkpoint does arrive quickly! Seniors should continue working on their research and other parts of their project as determined by the task list and timeline that they have created. As always, please reach out to your child's Senior Project mentor if you have any questions.

Seniors, if you haven't already, make sure to fill out this form for your graduation cap and gown!

Meet the wonderful and talented staff members of SHS!
