SHS students spent part of their break observing surgeries at The Orthopedic and Spine Hospital. Accompanied by their Health Science Instructor, Mrs. Tiffany Evans, these students had the rare opportunity to witness a shoulder instability procedure and a knee surgery focused on regrowing and replacing cartilage on the back of the knee.
These students represent just a few of the many at SHS who are part of our thriving Healthcare and Human Services pathway—one of the many programs preparing Yellowjackets for bright futures in high-demand careers. 💙💛

SHS PTO hosted a Spud-tacular Potato Bar for the SHS faculty and staff on Friday, November 14th. The event was sponsored by Jean Layne Boutique in Sheridan. Our teachers and staff were very appreciative of the luncheon. The kindness and generosity of our PTO and local businesses is truly a blessing.
Special recognition goes to Mrs. Lindsay Rich, FCCLA, and the Food Pro classes. These students helped prepre, serve, and clean up after the event. Teams make the work happen at SHS, and having students with servant hearts is a powerful reminder of what makes SHS special.

SHS Agriculture and Engineering/Kohler classes enjoyed a visit today from Richard Pugh with Nashville Auto Diesel College, a Lincoln Tech campus. Mr. Pugh shared information about the 22 Lincoln Tech campuses, their technical programs, costs of attendance, and financial aid options. Many SHS students are interested in careers as mechanics, HVAC technicians, and electricians. Opportunities like this help our students explore pathways that will enable them to achieve their goals for adulthood.
