IMPORTANT UPDATE: SHS and SAT School Day
This message is to inform SHS Families of updated assessment information based on recent news released from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). Please read thoroughly as the original schedule has changed. We greatly appreciate your patience as we adapt to the state directed assessment requirements and options.
ISBE has adopted the following changes for 2021 state assessments:
ISBE is omitting the essay portion of the SAT.
ISBE is eliminating the PSAT 8/9 and PSAT 10 for spring 2021. Freshmen and sophomores will no longer test.
Seniors are exempt from the SAT graduation requirement. All current 12th grade students will be eligible for graduation regardless of whether they have taken the school-administered SAT.
Updated Test Schedule:
Tuesday, April 13
SAT for all Juniors @ Net Church
Testing begins promptly at 8:00 am and standard testing will conclude at approximately 11:45 am. Students will be dismissed for the day at the conclusion of testing.
Freshmen, Sophomores and Seniors will attend a regular school day at SHS on April 13.
Please note the following:
The SAT for juniors remains a graduation requirement.
All juniors, in-person and remote, will take the SAT. Remote delivery of state-mandated testing is not an option. Another letter with testing information will be sent via email again in a few weeks.
Please do not schedule any appointments on the day of testing.
Students are automatically registered through SHS for the test. There is no fee for the test.
The SAT is an official test and will be scored by College Board. The SAT scores can be reported to colleges/universities.
Freshmen, Sophomores and Seniors will attend a regularly scheduled school day at SHS on Tuesday, April 13.
If you have any questions about testing, please contact the high school office at 618-635-3838.
In our community, we share everyday moments with our family, coworkers, and friends. It's easy to overlook these routine moments. But as you go about your day, if you see something that does not seem quite right, say something. Report suspicious behavior to the authorities.

Community service is an integral part of the college-bound high school student’s experience, and it should not be missed.

When it comes to volunteering and community service, it is quality—not quantity—that speaks volumes to the admissions committee.

Behind on credit, at-risk of not graduating on time, struggled to keep up during COVID? SHS will host an in-person, 4-week summer school from 8:30 to 11:30 this June 1 to July 2--open to all students but will target students who are at-risk of not graduating on time.
The 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey reported that 20% of high school students use vapes. SHS has approximately 400 students. Research tells us that the more we talk with our youth about at-risk behavior, the less likely they are to participate in those risky behaviors.
The shortage of referees is real. Why? Low pay, verbal abuse, criticism on social media and not enough younger kids joining the ranks. Please help support our referees at SHS. If you are interested in joining their ranks, contact AD Redfern at TREDFERN@STAUNTONSCHOOLS.ORG.
