South Hadley High School Summer School/Enrichment Program We are now accepting applications for our Summer School/Enrichment Program. If you need to take a course because you've failed it or you want more practice in the subject, please sign up in the Guidance Office. For the first time, we are offering several enrichment courses where you can further develop your interests! If you are interested in signing up for our enrichment courses, please stop by the Guidance Department and sign up. Click here to go to our Summer School Information page. SAT Prep Program Available at Amherst College Under the Scholar's Choice Program, classes will be held in Room 101, Webster Hall,  on the campus of Amherst College. The program runs for three weeks in July, with full-length exams each Saturday (including one at the beginning, one on July 11th, and one at the end, on August 1st). Classes are held Monday through Friday. Each class is two hours long, but they move along simultaneously, so students can come to whichever time is more convenient--the first is from 10:00 to 12:00, and the second from 1:00 to 3:00. The Saturday exams will be from 10:00 to 2:00 for everyone. To see this information charted out a little more clearly, take a look at the website, at www.thescholarschoice.com, click on "Locations" at the top, and you'll find this course easily after searching in Massachusetts (there's only one other Scholar's Choice instructor in Massachusetts, and I'm the one on top). For more information, you can  contact Mr. Liam Hynes at Liam_Hynes@brown.edu. The base price is $550 per student, although The Scholar's Choice can provide financial aid for students that would have trouble paying. There is also a 10% discount offered to any student who refers another to the program. Miguel Santiago MIAA Student-Athlete of the Month Miguel was selected from the nominations that were submitted throughout the month of May.  As a result of his selection, he will receive a certificate of recognition, will be recognized on the MIAA website, and will be featured in an upcoming edition of the “Building the Future” Student Services Newsletter.  We would like to congratulate Miguel and all of the award finalists for the outstanding job they are doing as leaders and role models in both their school and community. Kelsey Davey and Kelly Tierney Named to the US Lacrosse Academic All-American Girls Lacrosse Team Kelsey Davey and Kelly Tierney were named to the US Lacrosse Academic All-American Girls Lacrosse Team.  This is a great honor and to have two named from this region is quite an outstanding accomplishment for both girls. Congratulations! Stadium Renovation Initiative Beginning in 1993, a small group of South Hadley High School administrators, coaches, parents and community members met to discuss the possibility of a grassroots effort to improve the athletic field and surrounding facilities for the benefit of the high school athletes, the Recreation Department's youth programs, and the community-at-large. A number of major events have occurred since then. Just recently, a web site was created to support this major initiative. You can check it out here! Individual Faculty Web Sites A growing number of faculty members are creating their own web sites for parent and student use. You can access these web sites by selecting "Faculty" in the menu bar to the left. The following staff members have a web site posted so far: Mr. Travis Chaput - Social Studies (NEW!)
