Stamford High School’s 2nd Annual HBCU Day and Door challenge attracted the attention of the Stamford Advocate and WNBC-New York.  Part of SHS’s Black History Month celebration, the program is designed to increase student awareness of and interest in Historically Black Colleges and Universities.  Thank you to all of the students and staff who participated, and to Assistant Principal Mrs. Perry-Holden for organizing the panel of speakers for our 2nd Annual HBCU Black History Month Celebration!  Thank you to our community partners 100 Black Men of Stamford, and WE ACT College Tours.

Recently, Stamford High School (SHS) International Baccalaureate® (IB) students gave of themselves to help immigrants in Stamford by teaching English at Building One Community (Center for Immigration Opportunity).  Each SHS student was paired with an adult and using whiteboards, paper clocks, sentence building puzzle pieces and charades they became compassionate and generous teachers. Thank you to Margarita Zimmerman, B1C’s Volunteer Director and SHS IB teacher, Lisa Rich, for helping our students to share their time and talents with our community.

A Shout Out to all our HS scholar-athletes from the Girls, Boys and Unified sports Basketball programs from Stamford High and Westhill High for participating in the recent MLK celebration event, sponsored by the Stamford Chapter of the NAACP!  The game brought big crowds and solid game play to the Kuzco Gymnasium.  The Unified Sports Basketball squads from both high schools came prepared and ready to compete.  SHS jumped to an early lead and was controlling the tempo, but WHS made a late 2nd half push to secure a tie game! Congratulations to all athletes and coaches involved!

The SHS Boys Soccer team is in their second year fundraising for Stamford Hospital in their "Paint the Town Pink" campaign. For every goal scored this season the boys led by Coach Mike Summa donated $100. Earlier this month, they presented the check to Stamford Hospital.
