SHS students Samuel Zuniga and Gabrielle Motes are students in Coach Abaza’s Intro to Business class, the Level 1 course in our Management pathway.
Students in this course are building the foundational skills they will need to be successful in Levels 2 and 3 of the pathway, where they will eventually put those skills into action by operating the YJ Store!
As part of their coursework, Samuel and Gabrielle were tasked with developing a business proposal and creating a website to support their plan. When it was time to present their proposal and website to their peers, they took the experience one step further by dressing in business attire—giving them another opportunity to practice skills they may use in their future careers.
This is what career preparation looks like: learning the skills, applying the knowledge, and practicing for the future.
At SHS, we are proud to provide pathways to possibilities as we prepare our students for whatever comes next!

Twelve SHS students and Mr. Bill Remow spent their day off from school learning firsthand about emergency services in Sheridan and Grant County!
Students toured the Sheridan Fire Department, Grant County Rescue, Office of Emergency Management (911 Dispatch), and MEMS station, gaining hands-on experience and learning about the important work these professionals do each day.
At the Sheridan Fire Department, Firefighter Captain Patrick Jones gave students a tour of the station and fire trucks. Students got hands-on experience with tools and extrication equipment and even had the opportunity to flow water through a fire hose.
At Grant County Rescue, Coordinator Scott Hollinger introduced students to the many types of operations conducted by GCR and provided a tour of the station.
At the Office of Emergency Management, Coordinator Randall Berry taught students how the 911 system operates. Students were also able to observe dispatchers taking calls and see firsthand the critical role they play in emergency response.
At the MEMS station, Paramedic Montel introduced students to equipment used by emergency medical professionals. Students learned how to operate a powered stretcher, saw a demonstration of a cardiac monitor, and explored other tools used in emergency medical care.
What a great opportunity for our students to explore potential careers while learning from the professionals who serve and protect our community every day!
A huge thank you to the Sheridan Fire Department, Grant County Rescue, Office of Emergency Management, and MEMS for investing your time in our students and providing such meaningful, hands-on experiences.
Learning doesn’t always happen inside the classroom! Go Jackets!

SHS students have the opportunity to take concurrent credit courses right here on the high school campus, earning both high school and college credit at the same time. These courses can provide significant savings for students and their families by allowing students to earn college hours before graduation.
