A Message from the Principal
Dear SFHS Falcon Families,
 
What a fantastic first semester that is quickly coming to a close! Final exams are right around the corner, but it is still not too late to take advantage of the time we have left. At SFHS, course grades are finalized by the teachers on Friday, January 25, 2019 – one week after the conclusion of first semester final exams.
 
The Final Exam schedule for Semester 1 has been completed with the following clarifications:
  • The school day has been adjusted for early release each day during Final Exams.
  • If your child is not taking an exam, he/she is not expected to be in the building during that time period. The library and cafeteria will be open during the designated Optional Study Times (see final exam schedule for times). Please encourage your child to attend these study opportunities.
  • The cafeteria will be open for breakfast before school and during the lunch hour on final exam days even though SFHS has open campus during the lunch hours. 
  • Please encourage your child to be fully prepared for their final exams and ensure that he/she arrives on time for all exams.
I would like to thank our students, staff, and families for a great first half of the school year. Besides all of the impressive work happening inside the classroom, we saw a lot of great achievements by our fall athletes and performing arts students. I cannot wait see what 2019 has in store for us!
Go Falcons!

High School Principal

 Learning Beyond the Classroom
Senior Symposium 2018
The 2018 Senior Symposium was held on November 8th in the cafeteria. Students took advantage of this opportunity to learn from professionals in the careers that students are interested in. This year, the students invited professionals with a professional business letter that they had to write as part of the English 12 class.
 
CAPP Chemistry in Action!
CAPP Chem students went on a field trip to Lakeland University. Students were investigating replacement (metathesis) reactions to produce their own solubilities chart and activity series. 
It was a very successful experience!
Tuition Waiver
 
NOTICE TO PARENTS WHO ARE MOVING OUT OF THE DISTRICT
