Nothing like a little AP Statistics applied to real life!

Our AP Stats class recently put probability and data analysis to the test with a free-throw contest between Maya Ringhoff and Mr. Harrison. Each attempted 70 free throws, while the class carefully tracked and calculated how many shots were missed. From there, students analyzed the results using the statistical tools they’ve been learning in class.

It was a great reminder that statistics are everywhere, even on the basketball court.

Props to Maya for being the FIRST girl to challenge Mr. Harrison in all the years of this stats lab contest!

SSHS takes the plunge - literally!

A group of our high school students and staff participated in the Cool Schools Polar Plunge last weekend to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics Pennsylvania. Their willingness to brave the freezing water demonstrates not only courage, but compassion and a commitment to supporting inclusion and opportunity for all athletes.

This group represents the very best of our school community—leading with heart, serving others, and making a difference. You make us proud!

Jake placed high enough that he advanced and will now represent our program at the All State Chorus Festival in the Poconos this April!

What an incredible achievement, Jake! Your hard work, dedication, and musicianship truly shine. Congratulations!

You can catch Jake this weekend as the great detective Frank Cioffi in Curtains the musical!
