Ms. Roddy states, "I am very grateful to SHS sophomore, Emily Fortenberry for nominating me for the event! Thank you!".
It's a busy week in the Phoenix Nation, let's support our students as much as possible! It's also Teacher Appreciation week, let your teacher know you appreciate them and all they do for SHS!

EOC Testing Reminders:
If your student begins a testing session and leaves campus before completing it (e.g., for an appointment, illness, etc.), they may not be allowed to return to that testing session. Please do not schedule appointments on test days. The office cannot interrupt a testing session, once started, to call students.
Students, please make sure you have iPads charged and ready for test days.
Remember, the EOC is 20% of your grade!

We are so proud to celebrate Sonoraville High School Senior, Yakecen Montalvo, who was honored by Georgia State Superintendent Richard Woods as 2025 Seal of Biliteracy Star Student for Spanish. Yakecen is pictured with Superintendent Woods and his AP Spanish Teacher, Mrs. Ale Beckman.
The Georgia Seal of Biliteracy is awarded to high school students who demonstrate proficiency in English and one other language. Yakecen chose Spanish at SHS and excelled through AP Spanish. This prestigious seal appears on both diploma and transcript, showcasing the student's linguistic excellence.
Congratulations, Yakecen!

Last week, Mrs. Beckman’s Spanish IV students had the unique opportunity to learn from local community leaders—family members of our students and proud members of the Phoenix family. Guest speakers—including small business owners and a real estate agent—shared their inspiring stories, offering valuable insights.
Students not only gained knowledge about leadership and entrepreneurship but also deepened their cultural understanding by exploring how language and identity shape professional experiences in our diverse community. ¡Aprender español abre puertas!
