Be that one person today.

NFHS Courses for students - The NFHS has released three courses and two in particular are for our student leaders. Dan Schuster, NFHS director of educational services stated, “We believe these courses will bring value to those who take them and will contribute to improving the interscholastic experience for young people.” The courses are called “Becoming a Leader” and “Leading Others”. Each course uses real student testimonies and focuses on building stronger student leaders.

Health Summit

The SCHSL presented a Health Summit on October 26. The Summit is geared to help our student-athletes with their mental wellness and healthy habits.

The speakers gave student-athletes tools and strategies that they can use, to balance their life and schedules, maintain their emotions during times of high stress, and how to ask for support when they are struggling to stay balanced. The objective is to help students with time. Please click the here to watch the video.
