“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

Our seniors spent the morning learning real-life skills from some amazing community members, getting ready for the next chapter! 💪💡
Thank you to everyone who poured into our students today, we appreciate you! 🌟
Join us on April 27, 2026 as we celebrate YOU and your next chapter! The day will kick off with a series of fun and practical life-skill stations led by members of our community—think waffle making, how to tie a tie, scheduling appointments, and more! At lunch, we’ll gather in the library for pizza, an ice cream bar, and group photos to celebrate your postsecondary plans. Be sure to wear your college gear, military apparel, or anything that represents your next step! In the afternoon, the National Guard will be here to wrap up the day with a self-protection session.
Let’s celebrate all your hard work and the bright futures ahead—Bulldogs, this day is for YOU! 💜 #SHHS #SHbulldogs #productivepreparedproblemsolvers
