RED Day
The Class of 2026 Financial Aid Night has been rescheduled to Tuesday, May 20th @ 6 PM in the PAC. This is a great opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the financial aid process for any student considering college.
The Sanford Mainers are hosting a college night on June 12th beginning at 5:30. Consider meeting with college representatives as well as catching a game.
Join Us for the Sanford High School Civil Rights Team Podcast, “Voices in the Crowd”. To build community at SHS, the Civil Rights Team is launching a podcast series featuring stories from SHS students and staff. Everyone’s story matters, and sharing our stories helps us understand one another. We invite any student or staff to participate in this exciting project by joining us for an interview. You can choose to speak one-on-one or as a pair with our interviewer. Together, we will discuss your experiences through a series of thoughtful questions, which you have the opportunity to view and select in advance to shape the conversation. This is a great opportunity to be heard, connect with others, and contribute to creating a more inclusive and compassionate school community. We’d love to hear your story! For more information, see or email Mrs. Whitney hwhitney@sanford.org or Mrs. Raymond, jraymond@sanford.org
We are excited to announce a fun opportunity for our Spartan Students. Want to win prizes? If you have Spartan gear, wear it each Friday and check in at the tables during lunch for a chance to win some prizes. Prizes will be drawn monthly, and the more Fridays you wear your gear, the more chances you’ll have to win! Go Spartans!
NHS is offering FREE tutoring sessions every Thursday from 2:30 - 3:30pm in B-143B. Stop by for a little extra help in a subject area of your choice. The late bus is available on this day.
