Shepherd Hill Regional High School
Newsletter ~ September 2022
Dear Shepherd Hill Learning Community:
It is with great enthusiasm that I write to you from my new office on “The Hill!” It is an
honor to serve as Principal, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead this
exceptional learning community. I look forward to experiencing all aspects of Shepherd Hill
culture, and I will work to ensure that Shepherd Hill continues to earn distinction as a
school of excellence!
Throughout the months of July and August, vacant positions have been filled, supplies and
materials have been ordered, and policies and procedures have been reviewed to ensure a
safe, orderly, and efficient learning environment for students and staff. Even in the midst of
unusually extreme summer heat and humidity, the maintenance and custodial staff have
been working tirelessly to prepare the building and grounds. Students have participated in
a range of activities, from Sports Academy, to Show Choir Bootcamp and Driver’s
Education. On August 23rd, we look forward to welcoming the Class of 2026 at the annual
Jumpstart Orientation.
As educators, we strive to be reflective practitioners, and we encourage students to
similarly engage in self-reflection. With the first day of school on the horizon, we should all
pause to consider how we might build upon previous successes, while also examining
opportunities for growth. As a learning community, if we collectively commit to working
hard, helping each other, and giving back to our school and local communities, the 2022-
2023 school year will prove to be a highly positive and productive experience for all.
I look forward to welcoming students back to “The Hill” on the first day of school, as well as
the many introductions that await in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please accept my
best wishes for a safe and enjoyable conclusion to summer vacation!
P.S. There is still plenty of time to finish (or start) your summer reading assignments!
With much anticipation,
Darren C. Elwell
Principal
