Senior Spotlight
Jake EagleWhen you look back on this school in later years, what will you remember most? Sports and a select few teachers. I am most grateful for ... Family and Friends I am inspired by ... (a person or event and why). My dad, because he will put everyone else before himself and I think that is so inspiring. What is the most challenging task as a senior? Keeping work turned in, because sometimes we get caught up in the moment. What advice do you have for incoming freshmen? Stay on task and enjoy yourself too. It goes by faster than you think. Where do you imagine yourself 10 years from now? Successful | Macie Red HornWhen you look back on this school in later years, what will you remember most? Homecoming week. I am most grateful for ... Actually waking up and coming to school on time. I am inspired by ... (a person or event and why). Myself, because I could have gave up on school a long time ago but I didn't and kept coming to school. What is the most challenging task as a senior? Finishing work before the deadline and trying not to be tardy for class. What advice do you have for incoming freshmen? Go to class on time and pay attention in class. Where do you imagine yourself 10 years from now? Working at my dream job. | Jessau MclaughlinWhen you look back on this school in later years, what will you remember most? All the laughs my friends and I had over the school years. I am most grateful for ... My friends and family. I am inspired by ... (a person or event and why). My mother, she taught me how to be a strong and better person in life. When life gets hard, she will always be by my side. What is the most challenging task as a senior? Keeping my grades up, ACT scores, planning for college, and basically my future. What advice do you have for incoming freshmen? Please do your work! Don't focus on boys or have drama - not worth the time. Focus on school work, freshman year is the important year. Where do you imagine yourself 10 years from now? My own house, no kids, and focusing on myself and working. |

ACT December 8th.

The ACT test covers four academic skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and scientific reasoning. It also offers an optional direct writing test.

Stop Bullying
Standing Rock Community Schools have a zero tolerance policy on bullying.
When adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows this can stop bullying behavior over time.
Parents, school staff, and other adults in the community can help kids prevent bullying by talking about it, building a safe school environment, and creating a community-wide bullying prevention strategy.
Please visit the website below to help identify bullying and how to stand up to it safely.
