First place went to Austin Simas for his ABC Medical Certification pitch and second place went to Aidan Baker! It was clear all of our students worked hard on their business proposals, and we are so proud of them!

This amazing opportunity was part of Governor Dan McKee Learn365 Grant to expand high-quality, year-round learning for students.
Last week International Foods students spent time learning about Ukraine customs and cuisine by preparing Ukrainian pancakes and fried cookies! This week students traveled to Italy, a favorite cuisine. They prepared homemade pasta using Kitchen-Aid Mixer attachments. Everyone agreed it tastes so much better than box pasta!
Congratulations to all of our Lady Spartans who competed in the Girls Indoor Track Divisionals!
Our Open House was full last night! Thank you to our staff, students, and our Spartan community who attended and helped answer questions and share their Scituate high school experiences. Each display table looked amazing, and it was clear that our students and staff worked hard to put their tables together. It's easy to have Spartan Pride with such a supportive school community!
When students join the Biomedical Science Academy at Scituate High School, students have the opportunity to be a part of HOSA - Future Health Professionals. An organization that empowers students to become leaders in the global health community! This year, students have been working on their own projects of interest and their goal is to be able to compete at the HOSA State Leadership Conference on March 1st!
Mrs. Dailey’s AP Calculus students applied their knowledge of finding the extreme values of a function to a manufacturing problem. Their task was to construct a box from a 5”x8” index card such that the box would have the maximum possible volume for the given amount of construction material. Students planned and discussed their approaches, and then created the boxes which were then filled with a treat to share!
Some of our high school students spent some time getting some fresh air and enjoying the snow during their lunch last week!
The SHS swimmers competed in two meets, on 1/6 & 1/20 at RIC so far this new year and all swimmers have dropped time since their first meet in December! We have another States qualifier: junior Ella Bard will join Ella Werbecki at the RIIL RI State Championship swim meet at Brown in March with her very strong 500 yard Freestyle time this past Saturday! Freshman Ella Bowden dropped almost FIVE seconds off her 50 yard Freestyle sprint since her first HS meet last month, and newcomer, junior Tristan Redmond, dropped nearly SIX seconds off his 100 yard Freestyle! One more regular season meet to go, great job Spartans!
Our AP Government students had a wonderful visit today from former Rhode Island congressman David Cicilline! Students were able to ask questions and learn about his experience as a Rhode Island Congressman.

Our Biomedical students taking Human Body System have been investigating the nervous system! Students worked on sheep brain dissections last week and built clay models that they used to illustrate and explain the events of an action potential. The purpose of the dissection is to give students the experience of observing several of the key anatomical regions and structures of the mammalian brain and connect these with their associated functions!
Congratulations to our Lady Spartans who competed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the Senator All Girls Classical in Massachusetts. We had four girls representing Scituate and they placed 8th out of 55 teams! Amazing work Spartans!

Students in Mrs. Dailey’s Topics in College Math class concluded their study of probability by creating games of chance and then inviting Mrs. Kennedys grade 7 math class to visit and play them. Students calculated the theoretical probabilities of their games in advance, then ran the games for the 7th graders while keeping data on the outcomes, and then compared their results to the theoretical values.
Even with the power outages that took place before our winter break, art students were determined to finish their art projects. Students even used their phone flashlights so that they could keep painting!
