Welcome to this week's edition of the SHS Weekly Highlights! We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged. You will find information and important dates for the week of March 23 to 27, 2026.

Students: a reminder from administration regarding hall passes: "Going forward, if you are in the hallway without a digital pass created, you will be escorted straight to ISS. You are responsible for making sure your teacher has created the pass before leaving the classroom if that is the route you choose, but there needs to be a pass in the cue n order to be in the hallway for any reason/destination. This includes: front office and guidance when being called to that location. This is the final warning/notice that is going to be given."

When entering campus from Boyds Creek Highway, car riders will be picked up from the horseshoe loop that goes in front of the main entrance. There will be two lanes for pick up once you are in "the loop." If you are directed into a specific lane by our bus duty admin, please stay in that lane to prevent any fender benders. The "Back Road" from Pitner Rd, which goes between our stadium and the junior high school, is a one way road in the afternoons. Our student drivers utilize both lanes of this exit at the stadium, and the right lane before the stadium breezeway is used for student drivers or faculty who are picking younger children up from the junior high school. 

Any parent whose children attend the junior high school and DO NOT have classes at the high school, you must enter the junior high pick-up line from Pitner Rd. You are not able to use the high school parking lot as a "cut through." If your child is a 9th grade student who has a class at the high school during 4th period, your student will be dismissed from the high school. If your 9th grade student is a car rider and has a 4th period at the high school, you will pick him or her up from the front of the high school in the car rider lines. The front of the high school is also where any 9th grade student with a 4th period at the high school will catch any of the buses. 

Any time buses are entering or exiting our campus, all vehicle traffic will be stopped by bus duty admin to give buses the necessary space to enter campus, safely load and unload bus riders, and exit campus. When the buses are through loading all riders, traffic will be allowed to flow again. We thank you for your cooperation in helping us ensure the safety of all students, parents, and faculty on our campus. Go Eagles!

Seniors: We need to know what your plans are after graduation. We use this information to put on the slide for our graduation slideshow when you walk across the stage at graduation. This is also the form we use to send your final transcript to the school you indicate on here if you go to college. Please make sure the spelling is correct when completing your name for diploma. We will use your formal, legal name on the diploma. When you submit this form, you are confirming that all information is listed correctly. If you have to make changes, especially for after high school plans please email your counselor with the changes ASAP. Please complete the form (posted to your Google Classroom) by Friday, March 27th.

Seniors: If you have an active/retired/inactive military parent/guardian, please come sign up your name on the white table in guidance for your purple cord at graduation (in front of Ms. Sondra). Please do so no later than March 27th.

There will be a parent/athlete meeting on March 26 in the SHS library at 6:00 for anyone who is planning to try out for the cheer team. Important information and paperwork will be given at this meeting, so everyone planning to try out needs to attend. Contact Ashley Arnold if you have any questions.

All students are expected to be present and on time each day. Should your student have to miss school, please send a doctor or parent note to Ms. Tammy at tamelaemert@sevier.org or to Ms. Trish at trishsimpson@sevier.org.

Parent Notes:

SCSS Board Policy 6.200: For every unexcused absence, 3 points are to be deducted from the daily average only if there was no daily grade for that day. One point is deducted from the daily average for every unexcused tardy (missing less than 20 minutes at the beginning or the end of class). Students can make up tests whether the absence is excused or unexcused.
