The SHDHS Golf Outing is starting a new tradition this year. We are combining forces between Athletics and Advancement/Alumni to make this a schoolwide fundraiser to help cover expenses throughout the school. The money from this year’s event will go toward repairs to cafeteria equipment, upgrading safety equipment at the school, and purchasing a Gator for field maintenance.
Over the past 12 years, the SHDHS Golfathon has raised more than $700,000.00 to benefit our athletes and the school. These items include:
- Purchasing a new van for the athletic teams, school clubs, and classes to use throughout the year
- Construction of the stadium press box and storage shed facility behind the softball field
- Renovations and purchase of team equipment for the SHAC
- Installation of soundboards and acoustic panels in the SHDHS gym
- Financial support for the Virgin Mary Grotto, the final piece of the “Building on Excellence, Guided by Faith” expansion project
Since the Golf Outing is now a combined, schoolwide effort, we no longer depend solely on the athletic teams to raise money. We are all taking part. This is where you come in. In addition to monetary donations, we need bottles of higher-end bourbon and items for silent auction baskets. To make this easy and convenient for you, we have created an Amazon Wish List. Please click here to view and purchase items if you feel inclined. The items will ship directly to SHDHS.

Crusaders of the Week
Mr. Fay nominates senior Jake Elfers AP Chemistry's Crusader of the Week.
"Jake is a very tenacious young man. Whether in the classroom or on the field, he does not let obstacles stop him from pursuing his goals. When he gets knocked down, he gets back up again. In AP Chemistry, Jake works diligently every day to engage with the content so that he can improve his understanding of it. If he struggles to solve a problem, he keeps trying, uses his resources, and then if necessary asks for help. I am excited to have him in class again this year!" Congratulations Jake!
Mrs. Reding nominates freshman Mckenna Hartwig, Algebra 2 Honors' Crusader of the Week.
"Since Week 1, Mckenna has been coming to class prepared and ready to learn. Not only is she tackling the challenges of an honors-level math class, but she is successfully learning how to navigate the ins and outs of high school life.
Most importantly though, Mckenna is kind and respectful. She truly is a great example of what it means to be a Crusader classmate, student, and friend.
Thank you for being a positive influence in our 3rd period class! Keep up the great work!" Congratulations Mckenna!

September Junior Retreat Reminders
Any students on the September Junior retreat who has any dietary restrictions, please email Annie Poat at [email protected]. Students are encouraged to bring snacks to share (bags of chips, fruit snacks, granola bars).
Saint Joseph of Cupertino’s feast day is on September 18 (the first day of our retreat). He is a wonderful saint who is known for levitating in prayer, being obedient and humble to God’s will, and for his simplicity of spirit. He is also known as the patron saint of students. In anticipation of your student’s upcoming retreat, I highly encourage you to read more about Saint Joseph of Cupertino and to pray his Novena for your student to have a blessed and transformative retreat experience. Here is the link to begin the Novena: https://www.praymorenovenas.com/st-joseph-cupertino-novena

Sophomore Class
Ms. Craddock was in the Sophomore English classes on 9/11 and 9/12 to talk to the sophomores about "Looking Toward the Future". This lesson encompassed a lot of topics including school success skills, positive ways to engage in the use of social media, the importance of transcripts to colleges, and how to calculate your GPA. A copy of the lesson (click on the graphic) as well as the data from the pre- and post-tests are linked below.
Data From the Pre- and Post-tests
Freshman Class
Ms. Craddock was in the Freshmen Cru 101 classes on 9/14 to talk about positive ways to engage in the use of social media. She also briefly touched on healthy coping skills for when students are dealing with depression and anxiety, as this week was suicide prevention week. After that lesson, a student panel of Juniors and Seniors answered questions for the freshmen about social media, time management, clubs/sports, how to succeed in high school and beyond, and more. It was amazing! The student panel did a phenomenal job, and the freshmen were able to hear from students who have been in the exact same position they are in right now. A copy of the lesson (click on the graphic) as well as the data from the pre- and post-tests are linked below.
