Sterling High School will have a pep assembly/send off for the basketball teams on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. The team will drive through the front of the school on the way out of town at 9:00. The community is welcome to attend.

SJSHS Adjusted Class Schedule based on 1:30 dismissal times on Wed/Thu and Friday's originally scheduled 12:30 dismissal.


Sterling Public Schools will dismiss at 1:30 Wed. and Thurs. Sterling boys and girls basketball teams qualified for the 2A State Tournament in Manhattan. Because we play at 4:45 both days we are dismissing school at 1:30 to allow staff and students to attend the games.

Make it TWO! Boys defeat Ellinwood and will play in Manhattan on Thursday! It’s a great day to be a Black Bear! #WeAreSterling


State Tournament Shirts will be on sale tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon in the SJSHS Commons from 2-4. Be sure to come in and pick up shirts to support the Bears next week in Manhattan! #WeAreSterling
