LOCKS/LOCKERS AND BACKPACKS
We wanted to inform you of a change we will make this year regarding school-issued lockers. We will continue to allow students to carry their backpacks throughout the day and provide a locker for all students.  In the past, we have required all students to have locks on their lockers. However, most students did not utilize their locks as intended.  After much discussion and getting student input, we have decided not to issue a lock to all students but make it optional at the student's request, a cost of $5.  If your child wishes to have a lock for the 2023-2024 school year, please complete the Google form below and agree to the terms. 
Lock Request (Everyone will receive a locker)

Absentee Notes Required
Upon returning from an absence period (whole or half-day), a student must bring a note from their parents or guardian. A note is required even if parents pick up their child or talk to the office by phone. This note must include the following information:

• Date the note was written;
• Student’s first and last name;
• Date of absence;
• The specific reason for the absence;
• Signature of parent/guardian.

SERVICE HOURS REQUIRED

Service Hours - If you have any questions about Service Hours, please direct your questions to Mr. Z at [email protected].

Incoming freshmen should keep a personal record of the service they do. Keep a record of (1) the agency you served with, (2) the number of hours you served for, and (3) the contact information (email or phone number) of somebody at the agency who can confirm your presence. When you arrive at school, we will help you set up a MobileServe account associated with SHDHS and will help you log any summer service hours.

As a reminder to all students, here is a description of the difference between Red Hours and White Hours. Red Hours include direct and on-site service at non-profit agencies that benefit people who are poor, sick, vulnerable, or otherwise marginalized in society. White Hours is a service at a parish, school, or civic community that benefits that institution or community.

Picture Day is scheduled for Tuesday, August 22, during the school day. Students can wear a nice shirt or spirit wear with their uniform pants.

Greetings from the SHDHS Counseling Department! We hope your family is enjoying a relaxing and refreshing summer break. We look forward to welcoming students back to school on August 14. 
For those families who are new to SHDHS, we thought it would be helpful for us to share a brief overview of the services we provide to students and parents:

• The St. Henry District High School Counseling Department, provides services to help students grow academically, socially, and spiritually. The counseling staff are professionally trained educators who work in the best interest of each student. Counselors work with students individually, in small groups, and in grade-level meetings to provide programming that encompasses academic, social/emotional awareness, college/career/vocational advising, and standardized testing.
• Upon enrollment at SHDHS, each student is assigned to a counselor who works, in collaboration with parents, administration, faculty, and staff, to advocate for students with the goal of promoting equity, access, and success. Professional guidelines of confidentiality are maintained in all student and parent-counselor interactions.

The Counseling Department is pleased to announce the following organizational changes: 

• Mrs. Molly Roebker will move to the Junior/Senior Counselor position, serving students with last names beginning M-Z.  
• We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Sydney Craddock, Freshmen/Sophomore Counselor.
