SHS Update: December 19, 2017
The 1st semester has drawn to a close, regardless of how hard we tried to stop it from being so. Now that Christmas is upon us we are reminded it’s once again time to reflect on the singing of our children. No I am not talking about in the back seat of the car when they think we can’t hear them. I am talking about their accomplishments that all can hear. The following list highlights some of the major accomplishments of our children over the last 5 months. The list is not all inclusive and should not be treated as such. Please take no personal exception if your child’s activity is left off. The point is to show how successful your school is and how important it is that we pass these successes on to future Panthers. The school district’s APR score rose to 92.5% for the year. Current enrollment numbers show 77% (101 out of 131) of students enrolled are involved in at least one extracurricular activity. 65% (51 out of 79) Juniors and Seniors are enrolled in College and Career Ready courses. The number of overall classes receiving a passing grade is 98.2%. Our fall sports were able to bring home a 2 district championships. Many athletes and performers were recognized with All-State Honors. Our Fine Arts department has sustained continued success through several wonderful performances. Our student activities are helping students follow their passions in many unique and exciting ways.

These successes are not typical in all schools and should be a testament to the foundation that has been laid by generations of former Panthers. We are a reflection of the community and as you can see from these highlights, the future looks very bright for our children. On behalf of the Salisbury district, I would like to wish our entire Salisbury family a safe and happy holiday season. We look forward to an exciting 2nd semester. Shout Outs A shout out goes to all parents and guardians who helped motivate our students to do their best on their finals this week. Your support is greatly appreciated. A shout out goes to the FFA and STUCO for challenging students to bring in donations of food for a good cause. It was awesome seeing students helping our local community. Thank you goes to all students who helped decorate for the Winter Formal. Students always need a good reason to dress up and those students who attended the dance had fun. A shout goes to all of the members of the high school and junior high band and choir. Your performances at the winter concert sounded amazing. A thank you goes to all those who attended the annual NHS Chili Supper last night. Your donations were all appreciated and the money will go to a very worthy cause.
