Letter from the Principal
Congratulations! We have made it through the first trimester of in-person learning! It honestly is great to have the students back and in classes full time. The staff and I were discussing that the last time our Freshman had a full 'normal' year of school was their 6th grade year. Seniors' last full year was Freshman year. This realization has made us rethink some of our practices. We want all students to feel safe and supported both physically and mentally.
I hope that students are enjoying the trimester system. I know it is different than past years when we ran semesters and adds an extra transition, but it aligns so well with students who are taking college classes and allows for students who do not pass a class to get back into the class and not have to wait a whole year. It also opens up so students can take more electives.
I want to say how proud I am of students coming forward and bringing in reliable resources to make changes to our bell schedule. We love when students get involved and advocate what is best for them. With the new bell schedule, we have expanded Mentor/Mentee class to 45 minutes so there is time to get lessons done and extra time for help if needed.
Mentor/Mentee class is required for graduation and makes sure we are taking care of our career education credit. This class is an all-or-nothing class. So students must complete all assignments. This class is central to our Mission and vision at Scio High School.
Our mission and vision here at Scio High School:
Mission: We the staff of Scio High School empower all students to be adaptable, respectful, and option-ready through providing a safe and supportive environment.
Vision: Empower students to dream BIG (Believe, Inspire, Give) in a safe environment. Dream Big, No limits, No Excuses!
We want students to be ready for anything.
Thank you all for your continued support of Scio High School. Together we are stronger. Stay safe and healthy and as always, reach out if you have any questions or concerns,

Students were instructed to take a major motion picture, and genre-bend the film’s trailer so that it creates a new tone,
An example would be taking ELF and making it into a horror/thriller movie.

Mr. Free and Mr. Shown have been working with sound waves in the second half of the physics classes. In the pictures below you see students enjoying the effects of a chladni plate where a standing sound wave makes specific patterns with sand depending on the frequency of the sound resonating from the material. The laser is the same principle but projected on a wall for a psychedelic visual.
