March is “Spread the Word: Inclusion Month” and SHPS students are championing the messages of inclusivity and belonging throughout the district! Through the work of Ms. Jen Otto and the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) program, high school students are taking action to ensure people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are valued, respected, embraced, and included in classrooms and in the community. Students are also proudly wearing Spread the Word gear throughout March thanks to START grant funding from the Family Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs. To sign a pledge please visit https://www.spreadtheword.global/pledge.
SHPS students are also working with South Haven business leaders to help create safe spaces for their neurodiverse peers in public. Working with Mr. Scott Moore of Moore Theaters, South Haven Michigan Theater will host 2 auditory and visual sensitive screenings for SHPS students and their families at the end of March.

You will be able to apply for multiple scholarships from local donors with one online application. This is your best opportunity to be awarded scholarship money because these scholarships are only available to seniors attending South Haven High School. Don't wait until the last minute to apply because a few of the scholarships require small essays and/or recommendations. Please see Mrs. Netzley with any questions. https://southhavencf.awardspring.com/
Seniors! Please, stop in the Student Success Center to check the spelling of your name for your diplomas!
Students may only park in the back of the school, near the tennis courts. If you are coming to school late, after the doors are locked, you may park in the front parking lot but you MUST park in the spots farthest from the building, nearest the street. Tech students- you must park in the back parking lot, nearest the tennis courts, and walk through the school to get to your bus. You may not park in the front.
Have you filed your FAFSA yet? March 1st is the deadline to file FAFSA and be considered for state aid in Michigan. If you plan to attend college, you should file. So much money in student aid is left unused because students don't file. Last year, $3.75 billion nationwide was left unclaimed and over $89 million went unclaimed in Michigan. File your FAFSA to take advantage of the aid available to you! Please see Mrs. Netzley for help filing.
