Scituate High School

The Scituate High School band led the annual Halloween Parade on October 24th. It was a beautiful afternoon with a great crowd and great music! The bands next performance is the Veterans Day Parade on 11/11.

On Saturday, we celebrated our amazing Spartan seniors — both cheerleaders and football players — surrounded by family, teammates, and fans.

Thank you for the years of dedication, leadership, and spirit you’ve brought to the field and sidelines. Once a Spartan, always a Spartan!

October is National Principals Month, and we have some of the best around at the Scituate School Department! Our principals go above and beyond for our students every day, making sure our students are experiencing engaging learning and feel safe and supported in their environments, all while supporting our educators and staff so that they can create the best classroom experiences for our students. We are so grateful to have them working hard in our schools. Thank you, SHS Principal Hassell, Assistant Principal Goffe, SMS Principal Morel, Hope Principal Toomey, Clayville Principal Boutiette, and North Scituate Principal Gallivan!

Last week, the students in the Academy of Engineering made a field trip to Providence for the Rhode Island Manufacturing Day convention. This convention was attended by employers and educational institutions from around Rhode Island, in a variety of different fields. This gave students some ideas for future opportunities, but more importantly, gave students a better idea of what the job of an engineer or technician actually is.

Advanced Ceramics students started the school year off strong by designing and sculpting their own needle tools that they will utilize throughout the course!

Needle tools are one of the most important ceramic tools that can be implemented in projects, and students were very excited to be making their own custom tools!
