Skye and Brylee Boschee are some great friends and even though school may stress them out some times, they are always so cheerful. We asked Skye what she likes most about herself she said “That I am a unicorn loving country girl.” Brylee likes that she ”Is in love with watermelon I have a watermelon candy bag in my backpack” she says. One thing that makes them both happy is being with each other. “Because we don't get to see each other a lot because we are always busy“ Brylee said. What’s one of the hardest things about being twins “We get in fights about stuff that's not even that big of a deal”. Some of the sports Skye and Brylee played are soccer and cheerleading. Skye’s favorite thing to do is to sing and dance.

Noah Jacobson and Audrey Hawkins are apart of the FFA 2nd semester. They competed on the Agricultural Science team. They got first! They will now compete in the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are very excited to represent SHS at the National FFA Convention in October of 2019. Although they won the Agricultural Science Convention they still wish that they could have done something a little bit better. Noah feels like he could have spent a little bit more time on the layout of his page. Audrey wishes she prepared more for her practicum.

Submitted by tara.pina on Thu, 05/16/2019 - 08:19

    At the end of this school year, 9th-grade English classes are watching and learning about Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is a play written by Shakespeare in 1597 and describes a tale between two lovers, Romeo and Juliet. If you’ve watched or read Romeo and Juliet, you know it is more than a love story, and that’s what our 9th graders are beginning to learn.
