Our 8th graders participated in our yearly Freshman boot camp, led by high school student leaders with Mrs. Robbins and Miss Barrett. They learned a lot of information about high school today, did a lot of team bonding, worked on career goals, wrote a letter to their “senior self,” and even got to spend some time in the sun!
It was a great day, and we are very excited to welcome the Class of 2029 to SNHS next year!
Our student leaders did an amazing job helping out all day and creating a great learning experience for the 8th graders!
Join us on Sunday, May 18, 2025, starting at 2p!

Miss Peregrine and students in her Principles of Broadcasting and Audio & Video Production Essentials classes traveled to Ball State University today to attend the 2025 JDay+/CCIM+ Program. There, they learned firsthand how to analyze and apply key principles of journalism, media, technology, and communication by engaging with industry professionals, exploring emerging trends, and developing ethical reporting, digital storytelling, and multimedia production skills.
Congratulations to Michael Dewing on his acceptance into the prestigious Keystone SEED 2-Year Internship Program! This is an incredible achievement! Keystone received 51 applications, interviewed nearly 30 finalists, and extended offers to only the top 20 candidates.
This hands-on program is designed to develop passionate and hardworking future leaders in agriculture. During the first year, interns rotate through all five divisions of Keystone—Grain, Agronomy, Energy, Swine & Animal Nutrition, and Corporate. In the second year, they transition into a full-time apprenticeship. Throughout the program, participants are full-time employees with benefits, educational opportunities, and valuable connections to industry leaders.
We’re proud of Michael and excited to see the impact he’ll make in this next chapter of his journey!
