Today we’re celebrating Mrs. DeLange—the perfect balance of kind and stern (the ultimate superpower 💪).
She keeps everything running smoothly, holds us to high standards, and still makes sure every student and staff member feels supported. Whether it’s a smile in the hallway or a well-timed reminder to stay on track, she does it all with heart.
Thank you, Mrs. DeLange, for leading our school with strength, care, and just the right amount of “principal look.” 👀
Get to know our amazing seniors through their Senior Spotlights—written by the Class of 2026 themselves! ✨
We’re proud of everything you’ve accomplished. Congratulations, SHS Class of 2026! 🎉
