Best Buddies Walk
Please register if you plan on walking in Concord, so you can start getting donations, after $50 in donations you get a t-shirt! It will have you make a personal page so you can send the link to anyone you know, and the money will go under your page for fundraising but go toward our team total. It is similar to anyone who has fundraised for sports. The team name is Souhegan Sabers. Make sure to type Souhegan Sabers in the box under ‘Join a team’. Then it will ask for personal info which will create your own page to collect donations.
Rise for Alexander's Fun Run
Help support SHS senior, Maeve Allen, with her senior project!
I am raising funds to go towards research for a rare leukodystrophy called Alexander Disease, which has affected a family member currently in the Bedford school district. At the fun run/walk, kids will receive a cape and bracelets as they make their laps around the Souhegan High School track. Click here to learn more!
School Highlights
Argentina Trip 2024
During February break, the Argentina 2024 trip also went to Uruguay! After a short ferry ride they found themselves in the small town of Colonia, Uruguay. They walked around town and spent the day taking in the beautiful scenery. With both Spanish and Portuguese influence this town is full of vibrant colors and beautiful architecture.
