Concert Choir Traveled to NYC over Spring Break
Concert Choir members traveled to New York City over spring break to tour such sites as Chinatown, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Park, the Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Harlem and the 9/11 Memorial. They also had an impromptu performance in Times Square where many stopped to hear them sing. The choir students also performed in concert at St. John the Divine Cathedral, the world’s largest Gothic cathedral. They did an excellent job representing our school and received MANY compliments! A special “thank you” to the parent chaperones who came along as well as the SWDCSC administration, community and parents for helping to make the trip a reality!
Our annual SHS choir Spring Concert and awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, May 3 at 3:00 p.m. and admission is FREE! We hope you are able to attend!

Juniors may lose chance at NCAA DI Qualifier status this semester
Junior year student-athletes are in their final semester (plus summer school) to meet the NCAA’s new “10/7” core course credit requirements.
Students failing to meet this new credit requirement, even those with a 4.0 GPA, will be ineligible for DI Qualifier status and will lose the opportunity to play as a college freshman.
The NCAA 2016 DI and 2018 DII academic eligibility changes are significant and are now impacting every student-athlete with college athletic aspirations. Those not tracking their NCAA core course credits and core course GPA every semester are risking their future collegiate eligibility.
We can help! Our simple and affordable online software solution is endorsed by the NIAAA and used by high schools in 47 states.
Call, email or submit the information request form today to learn more and set your student-athletes on a path toward athletic opportunity and academic success.
