Friday Dec 1st!

As we get into basketball seasons, please keep in mind that our hallways for home and away games are not play grounds. We love to have you and your kids attending and supporting, but please make sure your kids are in a gym and watching games.
Here's your weekly schedule for SJSHS. Hoping that you all had a blessed Thanksgiving. https://5il.co/29joq #WeAreSterling

JH Basketball night starting at 4pm vs Berean. Go Black Bears!!! #WeAreSterling

It's a short week with a nice long break. Happy Thanksgiving, Bear Cubs & Black Bears. https://5il.co/29998 #WeAreSterling

Greetings! SHS Applied English here, teasing our current student-achievement research project. We have been polling students who have transferred to SHS, asking "If you had it to do over, would you transfer here again?" So far, 7 of 8 say YES, which is great. But we're just getting started. And we are extremely interested in the NO votes so we can do better. #StayTuned #WeAreSterling

Going Bowling! SHS Scholars Bowl travels east to Berean Academy this afternoon for a 4:00 start. Go Bears! #WeAreSterling

JH Basketball heads out on the road to kick off HOA play this afternoon against Ell-Saline in a 4:00 tip. Go Bears! #WeAreSterling

Reminder that school will dismiss today at 12:30.
There's nothing better than math in the morning! Mrs. Hayes's class was learning about proportions first thing this morning.

St. John will now have concessions tonight. They found a group to run it last minute.
The Cub Basketball teams get their winter seasons underway this afternoon in St. John. Tip-offs are set for 4:00. There will be no concession stand this evening. #WeAreSterling

There will be no concessions at tonight's junior high basketball games in St. John. Please plan accordingly.
Sterling Stuff You Should Know: If you didn’t do debate, you may not know that all high school students in the entire country debate the same topic for an entire year. This year’s topic is fiscal redistribution. Tournaments start in September and take place every week until mid-January except for holiday breaks. Strong debaters have a head start on careers requiring logic and persuasion–which is EVERY CAREER, EVER. #WeAreSterling

What a time to be at SHS! The fall musical (Friday and Saturday, 730pm) is too good to miss. Torey Wilson and his experienced cast and crew create magic on the stage! Also, we are getting ready for basketball season. Excitement is through the roof for the boys, who have made it at least to the sub-state championship the past 4 years! And get ready for a new era for the girls with SHS and Sterling College legend, head coach Kylah Hayes! All this plus art, music, FBLA, debate, scholar's bowl, FFA . . . and on and on and on. #WeAreSterling



On Tuesday morning, November 7th, there will be fall picture retakes. Any student that was absent may have their picture retaken. If students return their first picture packet they may also have retakes. For questions, please contact the SGS office.
It's Musical Week at SJSHS! This year's performance features A Year with Frog and Toad. The curtain goes up at 7:30 on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings in the Betsy Dutton Theatre. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students. #WeAreSterling
