It’s Roller Coaster Day at SJSHS for our 8th graders. Each pair of students presents their coaster with an explanation to a panel of three judges. Coasters are made from paper materials and carry a marble with an expected time of at least 40 seconds. #WeAreSterling


We have been notified that 2 SGS students have tested positive for COVID 19. Close contacts have been notified.

Due to the expectation of continued high winds we will not be running our full size buses. We are asking parents to pick up students at school at normal dismissal time if at all possible. If you CANNOT pick up your child, please call SGS at 620-278-3112 or SJSHS at 620-278-2171 to arrange for our drivers to transport your child in a Suburban. Thank you!

The National Weather Service is predicting strong winds tomorrow beginning at 9:00am and building throughout the afternoon. If sustained winds are likely to reach an unsafe level for our big buses at dismissal time we may ask parents of bus students to pick their students up at school if possible. If parents are not able to pick up their student(s), our drivers will get them home in our smaller bus and regular school vehicles which are less susceptible to the effects of high winds. We'll monitor the situation throughout the day and send a message to parents as soon as possible if it looks like we will have to make the change. Thank you!
