First real chemistry lab of the year: mastering the Bunsen burner. We’re moving past theory to learn fire safety, air-to-gas ratios, and how to dial in that perfect non-luminous blue flame. High school science officially starts now!






💜 Breaking the Silence, Building Connection 💜
Last Friday, our high school community came together for an important suicide awareness assembly with speakers from Moms Breaking the Silence.
Their powerful stories and message reminded us of the importance of checking in on one another, listening without judgment, and knowing that no one has to face difficult moments alone. 💜
We are grateful to Moms Breaking the Silence for sharing their experiences and helping our students understand the importance of speaking up, reaching out, and supporting one another. 💜
It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to not be okay. And every conversation can make a difference. Reach out.

We’re excited to give you a sneak peek at an upcoming project at the high school entrance! 🐝🌾
Our Earth Science class is partnering with the Missouri Department of Conservation and Conservation Agent Andi Rittle to transform two areas at the front entrance of the high school—approximately 800 sq. ft. and 1,800 sq. ft.—from traditional cool-season/turf grass into professionally landscaped pollinator plantings featuring Missouri native grasses and forb species.
🌾 A major focus of this project will be Missouri native grasses! These native species are an important part of Missouri’s natural ecosystems and will help create a beautiful, sustainable landscape while providing valuable habitat and resources for pollinators and wildlife.
We’ll also be incorporating Missouri native plants into professionally landscaped beds around the entrance sign and other structures near the Bulldog Ave. parking lot entrance. 🦋🌻
This project is a great opportunity for our students to put Earth Science concepts into action while learning about native plants, conservation, habitat, and the importance of supporting Missouri’s ecosystems.
A HUGE thank you to Bullseye and Andrea Jennings for allowing us to use their tillers to help make this project possible! 🙌
We can’t wait to watch this space transform! Stay tuned for more updates as our students get to work. 🌱🐝
Missouri Native. Student Driven. Community Supported. 💚

As we finish another school year, we continue to carry Chase Beaty’s memory with us each and every day. Chase would have been completing his sophomore year at South Harrison High School, and it has meant so much to our Bulldog family to honor him each month through Hat Day for Chase.💜🧢
Join us tomorrow, May 13th, for our final Hat Day for Chase of the school year. Bring $1 to wear your favorite hat, with proceeds supporting the Chase Beaty Memorial Scholarship. Through this scholarship, the Beaty Family was able to honor Chase this year by providing scholarships to three graduating seniors.
To the Beaty Family, thank you for sharing Chase with all of us. His kindness, spirit, and impact will always remain part of South Harrison. 💙💛✈️

“Ruth Hessemyer was more than just an English teacher – she was someone who was truly interested in developing her students as ‘people.’ She inspired us with Shakespeare, with other plays and with written communication. Students who experienced Ruth came away with an appreciation for her passion for developing her students and teaching.”
– Charlie Pettijohn, SH Class of 1970
