Stamford High & Westhill seniors had an awesome learning experience last week when they visited Eversource on November 7. Students sat for an information session where they learned about the various jobs available at Eversource, as well as the training required and potential salary. Students were very engaged and attentive. Many took the opportunity to ride the bucket, and see first-hand what lineworkers experience at elevated heights. We look forward to welcoming Eversource at an upcoming Career Day at SHS, as well as our all-city College & Career Fair this spring!

Thank everyone that supported this year’s SHS Pink Out. We were able to donate $8,220 to the Bennett Cancer Center which is housed right here in Stamford at Stamford Hospital. Additionally, we plan to donate $2,000 to Wings for Ewing Sarcoma in the name of former student athletes and recent graduates Kyle Bancroft and Emmy Sigtryggsson - both of whom we lost in the last year to Ewing Sarcoma. 

Did you know that this summer Stamford High School sent three student research experiments into space?  The experiments have recently been returned to NASA by Nanoracks and will be returned to our students for examination and data collection.  #DareMightyThings Black Knights!

Last night, our boys soccer team beat #2 seed Trumbull by a score of 3-2 in the FCIAC quarterfinals.  It was an extremely hard fought game with our goals scored by Felipe Stefanzuk (on his 16th birthday), Noel Vargas and captain Owen Fedeli.  You can watch Owen's game winning goal here: https://x.com/DaveRuden/status/1849229119310966886 

We now advance to the FCIAC semifinals that will be played this Saturday at 3:00PM vs. #6 seed Danbury.  This game will be played at a neutral site, Fairfield Warde High School.  We are told there will be a live-stream link sent out before the game so if you cannot make it, I will send out that link when I receive it.

Thank you all for your support of our boys all season long and during this post-season run!  We hope to see you Saturday, have a great day.

On Saturday, September 21, the Stamford High Band played at our second home game of the season against Greenwich. Students prepared nine upbeat, fan-favorite tunes including our fight song to be performed between plays, during timeouts, and at halftime. This marks the band’s return to playing at sporting events after over a year much to the delight of students, teachers, and families. The band, which includes close to thirty musicians, plans to play at more games throughout the season. The next performance is this weekend.

This is the third year that the College & Career Center in collaboration with Career Pathways has been offering their Career Day Series. We believe it is important for students to gain exposure to various industries and welcome guest speakers from our community to come in and speak with our students about their personal story, background, education, and profession. Students from all grades are welcome to attend Career Days, and this quarter students were able to attend up to four sessions. We look forward to our next Career Day being held on December 10!

Adam Jackson, our Instrumental Music Teacher, invited fourth grade students and their families to an evening event in which students were introduced to the variety of instruments available for our students to learn! Mr. Jackson is also Stamford High's Band Teacher and brought several band members to demonstrate! 40 students signed up for an instrument before the night was over! Thank you to Zoe Harris, our General Music teacher, for supporting this event!
