Message from the Principal-
Hello Community,
It is already time to look back at the year gone by! Sandpoint High School has a lot to be thankful for and proud of while we navigate essentially the final month of school. Thank you all for the support you have given throughout this year.
This is Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week so please take some time to thank any staff members who have had a positive impact on you or your student’s life. I know Teachers and Staff work hard everyday to ensure the best possible experience for our students at school.
Congratulations to our Valedictorian, Anna Auld, and our Salutatorian, Madison Duke. They have worked hard during their time at SHS and we look forward to their continued success at the next level. This year’s North Idaho Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (NISTAR) program recipients were; Kate McGregor who chose to honor Scott Fitchett and Ben Ricks who chose to honor Aaron Gordon. The NISTAR program was created to honor academically successful students who are also highly involved in athletics or other activities and have them honor a teacher they felt had a great impact on their education or lives. We will be further recognizing other students for their accomplishments and academic success at our upcoming Academic Achievement Night on May 23. SHS is proud of all of our students for their hard work and dedication. It is great these students get some recognition for their efforts.
Thank you for your participation and support at our recent events. We were so thankful to offer the NIC Roadshow back in person at SHS. NIC brought several programs and departments to show students the myriad of opportunities offered by NIC and the pathways to their future they could take. We also had a great time hosting our Springboard to High School Night live and in person once again. We had a great turnout where 8th grade families learned a little bit about SHS and all it offers before requesting their classes for next year. Events like these always take a lot of volunteers and participation so we thank everyone involved in making these happen at SHS.
SHS is now in the final stretch of most athletics and activities. If you have not had a chance to enjoy our student athletes, get out now and enjoy some Tennis, Track, Golf, Baseball, or Softball before the season ends. All activities will be wrapping up soon with May being the month for district and state tournaments. This may also be the last chance you have to enjoy a choir or band concert.
We are also in the final stages of ISAT testing with most, if not all, tests slated to be completed by the end of this week. We are looking forward to getting the results of these assessments in order to analyze and look to improve those areas where we may have fallen short. Along with testing, students are also in the process of requesting classes for next year and we should have all students' requests by the end of this week which will allow us to begin working on our master class schedule for next year. This is a huge puzzle that takes a lot of time and patience. Thank you for helping your students through this time as we really appreciate the time and energy you put into these activities.
We are now looking forward to the next set of events which May will bring. Keep an ear out to hear about: Declaration Day, Academic Achievement Night, Mock DUI, Scholarship Night, Ironman, Prom, and of course Graduation!
As always, if you have any questions or input, please feel free to contact me and let me know what you think.
Go Bulldogs!
David Miles II; Sandpoint High School Principal
