Congratulations Mrs. Emily Scheffler for being nominated at SJH 2023 Teacher of the Year. We are excited for you and know you will represent us well.

Underclassmen and parents:

We have started our underclassmen IGP conferences. Your child’s counselor sent out an email to sign up for these conferences. These meetings will discuss plans after high school and course selections for next school year. We would love for you to come in and meet with us. We look forward to mapping out a plan for your child.

Juniors - If you are interested in the telecommunications field after graduation please stop by guidance to learn about an exciting opportunity.

Send pop tops in with your student or drop off at the Welcome Desk.

DECA Holiday Tip: Set out a container or cup to collect pop tabs during your holiday festivities with your family and friends!

If you plan to pick your student up early or your student will drive off campus early, please send a note with your student to be turned in before school starts at the Welcome Desk. We will verify the note and give your student a pass to meet you or leave at the appropriate time. Sending a note cuts down on class interruptions. Unfortunately, we cannot accept phone calls or emails to dismiss students. We appreciate your help.

Parents should always use the front entrance to pick students up for early dismissal. Additionally, we ask that you follow the traffic pattern set forth by SJH. Please do not move cones, go around cones or make unsafe decisions to shorten your time on campus. Please help us keep our students safe by following our traffic patterns.
