Souhegan High school is committed to providing the best educational experience at Souhegan High School for students.
As we consider the next 30 years of Souhegan High School we must hold onto the values from the past that are important, stay grounded in the present, lead and educate students for the future.

BAE Systems is excited to announce their Women in Technology Program is back in person!
WiT gives female and female-identifying high school students with an aptitude in math and science a practical, hands-on opportunity to explore careers in various technical disciplines. It also provides mentorship to the students to encourage and support them in their pursuit of a technical career.

The program takes place at BAE Systems locations in Southern NH, beginning on January 17 through May 9. Students will participate on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Please note that this timing is different than in the past, to allow students to attend after school.

Our application is hosted on Tallo: https://app.tallo.com/application/8334/view (note: students will need to create a Tallo profile to apply, this is easy and free and compliant with NH student privacy standards).

A Message from the PTSA
Parents,
It is the time of year when we begin to fundraise and plan for Project Graduation 2023! Project Graduation is a party the PTSA hosts for newly graduated seniors. It is a way for us to help our students stay as safe as possible during a time when there is a high rate of teen accidents. We need all grades of parents to help make this a successful event, although there is one caveat: Senior parents cannot work the night of the event. They can definitely help to plan and organize, though! Many on our committee will be leaving us this year as their last child will be graduating, so there needs to be some folks to pass the baton to after June 2023.
To kick off the fundraising: we will have a table at the high school on Election Day (11/8) selling raffle tickets to win $100 worth of various gift cards. We begin the active planning stages soon, so if you can help on Election Day and/or are interested in joining this committee, please contact Lisa Eastland at lmm.eastland@gmail.com.

Both discussions were tabled, with plans to vote next week.
Our next meeting will be Monday, November 7th in the Information Center from 3:05-3:45 Here is a link to the full meeting calendar for the year.
