On February 3rd, 10 colleges came to recruit SLHS high school students and were not disappointed.  To say that it was a HUGE success would be an understatement of MAMMOTH proportions. Today SLHS students received a grand total of $783,032.36 in scholarships!!! Below are details each student’s acceptance and scholarship information. Please congratulate them!

Our student behavior, preparation, and dress did not go unnoticed - a huge thanks is due to our career advisor Trisha Pak, our counselors Deb Noble-Perry, Cindy Hollingbery, Penny Nelson-Schlegal, Heather Van Dyke and for Assistant Principal, Julie Baublits for planning the best fair that the HBC has ever experienced. The head of HBC group could not say enough about SLHS and our staff. Also, a number of teachers and staff helped students with portfolios, wrote letters of recommendation, and simply provided the encouraging words that many needed.

This is evidence of our students and staff for continuing to do whatever it takes to help our students be successful. It’s a GREAT DAY TO BE A SENTINEL!
