Something To Make You Laugh or Smile

Enjoy this video that reminds us how "awesome" it is to run synchronous e-learning days and record lessons. The paper curling as she's trying to draw was hilarious!

Something to Make You Think or Grow

Day 1, R Factor Roll out from Tim Kight

I know many of you have seen or heard of the "R Factor" before, but I truly enjoyed this presentation by Tim Kight to a group of high school students. It is not only a reminder to ME personally about what I can control (my response), but it really got me thinking about if our kids have ever really heard this powerful message before. Think about how this message can impact YOU and OUR STUDENTS.


Want a better "O", choose a better "R".

SHS Cheerleaders & Athletic Department

The SHS cheerleaders and Athletic Department were invited to participate in the grand opening of the Dunkin Donuts on Southport Road. This location is partnering with SHS and donated $1,000 to our athletic program. The Southport mayor and community members were also present for the grand opening. Thank you for your connection and building partnership within the community.

Mr. Hanley

Mr. Hanley recited a portion of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Tell Tale Heart” prior to the Symphony Strings performance of “Evil Eye and the Hideous Heart.” Thank you to Mr. Hanley for supporting students in the classroom, as a Booster Club sponsor, and in ANY way anyone ever asks you.


Mr. Wright

Mr. Wright and the Symphony Strings performed in the cafeteria for the annual Spooktacular Halloween Concert. This informal concert is always a great way to invite families to come in and enjoy the work of our orchestra students. The students also enjoy dressing up.

This same group also performed at Homecroft Elementary School as another way to share the gift of music within our own school community.

Halloween Costume Fun

Thank you so all of the staff members who participated in the Social Committee's Halloween costume contest. Who says high school teachers don't like to dress up?


Congratulations to Anne Manning and the "Spice Girls" for winning the individual and group competitions!

Mrs. Manning

Mrs. Manning's students are learning about dystopian literature the characteristics that are included within books, movies, and stories. The students watched a short video to demonstrate the characteristics and buld background knowledge. The students then discussed as a group their perseptions of given statements that align to topics that will occur while they read Fahrenheit 451.

Honor Roll Celebration

Thank you so everyone who helped plan, organize, and distribute the goodies during the Honor Roll celebration. Over 1,400 students were on the A and B Honor Roll for Quarter 1!
