Parents/Guardians/Students,
We are quickly approaching the end of the school year, which means we are entering Graduation season! I am proud of every one of our Seniors for the work they have completed to get to this point. I am attaching an updated schedule of Senior events as a reminder of the important dates as they approach. We have one major date change: the Baccalaureate and Senior Scholarship Awards Night has been moved to Wednesday, May 13th. The Baccalaureate will start at 5pm, and the Scholarship Awards will start at 6pm. This move has been made so that there are no conflicts with postseason athletic schedules and other events that are happening at the school. I apologize for any inconvenience, but this allows all of the students to be able to participate and is our best option.
If you are interested in seeing the promenade on Tuesday, 5/26, we ask that you check into the High School Office via Door 5. We will allow parents and guardians to stand and take pictures outside the office as the Seniors finish their walk.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at all of the events, and especially at Graduation on Sunday, May 31st, at 1pm!

🍎 Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! ✏️
Today, we celebrate the incredible educators who play such a vital role in shaping the future. Teachers do far more than deliver lessons—they inspire curiosity, build confidence, and guide our children toward becoming thoughtful, capable leaders.
With patience, dedication, and genuine care, teachers help mold young minds and provide steady support each day. Families place immense trust in them, and their influence reaches far beyond the classroom.
No matter where life takes us, each of us can point to a teacher who made a difference—someone who encouraged us, challenged us, and believed in our potential. Their impact lives on in every profession, every achievement, and every success story.
Take a moment today to reflect on the teachers who have shaped your journey—and if you can, reach out and say thank you. Their work matters more than words can express.

This past Friday, the Senior Class had an unforgettable day celebrating together on their end-of-year field trip to Columbian Park and Get Air Trampoline Park in Lafayette! From enjoying time outdoors to bouncing, laughing, and making lasting memories, it was a well-deserved break as they wrap up their final weeks of high school.
A big thank you to Mr. Montemayer and Miss Pizano for organizing and chaperoning such a fun and memorable experience for our seniors. Moments like these are what make the journey so special—congratulations to the Class of 2026 as you finish strong! 🎓

Meet our magical little Merlin! ✨🐾
At just 8 weeks old, Merlin officially began his journey TODAY to become our full-time facility therapy dog! He’s an Australian Labradoodle (expected to be around 35 lbs.), a breed specifically developed for therapy work—and he’s already proving he’s something special.
Merlin recently passed his temperament test with a near-perfect score—something that rarely happens. While a score of 170 qualifies a dog for therapy work and 190 is considered exceptional, Merlin scored an incredible 195! 🌟
Not only is he talented, but he’s also one of the rarest coat colors produced by his breeders—making him just as unique as he is gifted. He truly lives up to his magical name!
Thanks to the support of a grant, Merlin will be joining our schools this October as our newest facility therapy dog. ❤️🖤
Thank you for your patience as we searched for the perfect match for our school. We can’t wait to see the positive impact Merlin will have on our students, staff, and community!
✨ Bets were placed this past weekend, and it was officially a night to remember! We had some great photographers who captured the night! 💃🕺

This afternoon, a medical emergency occurred on CR 50 E approximately one mile north of SN’s campus. The situation required a Lifeline helicopter to land on school property.
While this incident did not involve SN school personnel, we wanted to be proactive and let our community know that our staff and students are safe.
