Due to our faculty and many of our students participating in our SHDHS Open House on November 9, there will be a Late Start on Monday, November 10.

The SHDHS Academic Team dominated the JV Challenge last Saturday!  Sophomores and Freshmen from around Northern Kentucky competed at Ryle HS; the Cru finished 1st in Quick Recall and Overall, with standout performances in Quick Recall by Luke Jankowski and Aneesh Sehgal.

In individual tests, Luke Jankowski placed 1st in Social Studies and 2nd in Arts & Humanities; Aneesh Sehgal, 1st in Science and 4th in Math; Samuel Haubner, 3rd in Math and 5th in Science; Mitchell Jump, 2nd in Social Studies and 4th in Language Arts; Noah VonHandorf, 5th in Social Studies; and finally, Lucas Burton, 3rd in Science.  Luke and Aneesh also placed in the Top 10 in the State on one of their test subjects.  Way to go, Cru!

Congratulations to Emma Clineman, who won the most recent Think the Vote contest for the question, "Should Students Be Allowed to Wear Controversial Costumes to School?" (https://billofrightsinstitute.org/ttv/debates/should-students-be-allowed-to-wear-controversial-costumes-to-school). Think the Vote is a nonpartisan website that encourages students to express their opinions on political, social, and economic issues and rewards students with gift cards,
t-shirts, and other prizes. Emma will now be entered to win $1000 scholarship at the end of the year. Congratulations, Emma!

CRUSADER OF THE WEEK

Mrs. Thelen, Ms. Lindsay, and Mrs. Ryan nominated Freshman Elizabeth Brown for Crusader of the Week in AAIMS I.
     
"Elizabeth always greets her teachers and classmates with a smile. She consistently uses her time wisely and stays busy in class, making the most of her time. Not only does Elizabeth advocate for her own benefit by asking for extra math work, but she also often asks other students to participate in extra practice and review. This type of leadership is exciting to see for a freshman student. Keep up the good work, Elizabeth!  We are proud of you!"

Mr. Gish nominated Sophomore Lincoln Janes for Crusader of the Week in Principles of Business.
     
"Lincoln is diligent in his preparation for class, and his desire to master content is second to none. He is always willing to answer questions and provide thorough insight into class discussions. Lincoln has a bright future in the world of business. His work ethic and desire to absorb business concepts will provide the path for future success. Congratulations Lincoln! "

CURRENT FAMILY PRIORITY APPLICATION WINDOW

Last year, we experienced a waitlist for enrollment in several grade levels. To better serve our current families and reduce stress during the admissions process, we’re introducing a Current Family Priority Application Window for NEW students who are siblings of current SHDHS students. If you have a current student at SHDHS, you do not need to apply. Your student is automatically re-enrolled unless you tell us otherwise. 

If you would like your child to join their sibling at St. Henry for the 2026-27 school year, we encourage you to submit your application between October 23 and November 9. Applications received during this window will receive priority consideration before general applications open on November 5.

Here’s how the process works:

• Apply online through our admissions portal.
• SHDHS will request academic records from your child’s current school.
• Our admissions committee will carefully review all submitted records.
• Families will be notified of acceptance decisions by mid-December.
• Accepted students complete registration by DATE.
  • Enrollment is NOT finalized until the registration fee is paid and a counselor appointment is scheduled for course selection.

HIGH SCHOOL PLACEMENT PREP CLASSES

To support your child’s high school placement test preparation, we offer specialized prep classes to help students build confidence and excel in the placement test. The classes are on Tuesday, December 2 and Tuesday, December 9 from 3:30 - 5:00 pm at St. Henry District High School. Our experienced instructors will cover essential topics, ensuring your child is well-prepared for the high school placement test challenge. Please register here.

HIGH SCHOOL PLACEMENT TEST

The high school placement test is a significant milestone in your child’s academic journey. We encourage all prospective students to take the test, administered on Saturday, December 13, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, at St. Henry District High School. Students who take the test at SHDHS are qualified for a scholarship if they score in the top 10%. Students who need accommodations should contact Michele Ryan at mryan@shdhs.org.

Please take a moment to read the letter from the Most Reverend John C. Iffert regarding the significance of the HSPT. 

Registration for the HSPT opens November 5, 2025. Visit shdhs.org to register. 

SHADOW VISITS

We welcome prospective students to experience a day at SHDHS by shadowing a current student. The unique experience gives them a firsthand look at our classes, the chance to meet our students, and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the daily life of a Crusader.
