HSE Testing during Stay at Home Orders

Big picture
We are currently not offering official HSE testing. Our priority is the health and safety of staff and students. We are watching health directives from the county to see when we can resume testing for a limited number of people. We will notify students when the test center will begin offering HSE tests again.

We know that graduation is important to students and their friends and family so we have postponed it until we can have a regular graduation. Students at SAS complete throughout the year, and everyone who has earned a HSE or HSD since the last graduation will be invited. Graduates can request transcripts and copies of high school diplomas from Leonela. If you are requesting an official document it will be sent by USPS and you will be asked to sign for it.
