The SHS Construction class recently visited Mrs. Stamey’s 5th grade science class at SES to teach students about electrical circuits. During the visit, they explained the different parts of a circuit, how to build one, and the function of each component. Students then participated in a hands-on activity where they created their own circuits and tested them. By completing a closed circuit, they were able to see electricity in action as their light bulbs lit up!

We are so proud of our students for sharing their knowledge, leading by example, and inspiring future learners!

Weather conditions can be unpredictable, and this delay is being implemented to help ensure the safety of our drivers, bus riders, faculty, and families tomorrow morning.

Please adjust your child’s morning drop-off time by two hours. Buses will also operate on a two-hour delay behind their usual route times. Elementary schools will begin at 9:30 a.m. Middle and high schools will begin at 10:30 a.m.

We will continue to monitor weather conditions closely and are working with local agencies as needed. If any additional changes become necessary, families will be notified promptly through our communication channels.

Hear ye, hear ye! 👑🏰✨

In honor of National School Breakfast Week, our SES cafeteria transformed into a royal castle for a medieval-themed Celebrity Servers Breakfast! Princes and princesses filled the kingdom as we welcomed brave knights from the Gordon County Sheriff's Office and our honored guest, Superintendent Alice Mashburn.

Our special visitors traded badges and briefcases for serving trays as they helped serve breakfast to our royal court. It was a morning full of smiles, castle décor, and reminders that a healthy breakfast helps our students start the day strong and ready to learn! 🥞🍎

We are so grateful for community leaders who support our school and celebrate the importance of school breakfast with us. Long live Phoenix Pride! ❤️🖤
