Today is Reality U at SJSHS. Students in grades 8, 10, & 12 will participate in a 90-min budget scenario based on answers about school, desired family situation at age 27, and career choice. Let's just say that life's expensive and they're figuring that out today. #WeAreSterling

Here's a new feature to our messaging at SJSHS: the Week in Review, which highlights student accomplishments in activities over the last week. Enjoy this first one! #WeAreSterling
