We are extremely honored and proud to announce that we have our first-ever Gold Medal winner for the Scholastic Art Competition.

This also makes Savannah eligible for numerous potential scholarships. WAY TO ROCK, SAVANNAH!!!

Alumni Art Show/Hall of Fame
Alumni Art Show is a hit!
SHDHS welcomed their talented Alumni Artists to submit pieces for the second annual Alumni Art Exhibition, which opened before the Hall of Fame Induction on April 2. Pieces submitted ranged from graduates in the class of 1944 all way up to 2022! We thank everyone that took part and look forward to seeing an even bigger turnout for the next one in November 2023!
SHDHS is honored to present the newest members of the Hall of Fame class of 2023. Each new member is being inducted under one of our five pillars; faith, arts, athletics, leadership, or scholarship.
Michael McGuire Class of 1961 Arts
Scott Brauch Athletics
Amy Eisenmenger Class of 1979 Athletics
Jay Eisenmenger Class of 1979 Athletics
Virginia Goetz Faith
Terri Seibert Leadership
Susy McAfoose Leadership
Gina Ruehl Scholarship
Each inductee received a Crusader figure inscribed with our Hall of Fame insignia. When we think of a Crusader, we often envision it holding a sword. This figure, however, has been designed to hold a pen. We thought these figures were perfect because, as they say, "the pen is mightier than the sword." Current Hall of Fame members and new inductees…each of you has helped write our Crusader family's story. Your impact on our school has, indeed, been mighty.
Congratulations!
