🎉🎶 ATLAS Pep Rally was a TOTAL blast! 🐻💥 Our teachers weren’t just teachers – they were rockstars! 🎤💃 They danced, sang, and cheered with so much energy, we honestly don't know who's more excited for the ATLAS test – the students or the teachers! 😂💪 We also had some incredible seniors from SHHS join us to pump up the crowd and get us ALL fired up for the test! 🔥
Huge shoutout to our amazing SHMS community for making this pep rally unforgettable! We’re ALL ready to crush the ATLAS test! 📝💥
Let’s go, Bears! 🐾 #ATLASReady #BearStrong #SHMSFamily #TeacherGoals #ShakingItOff #ReadyToRockTheTest
📚🎉 Shout-out to Coach Shepherd and his amazing crew for putting in the work and getting ready to CRUSH the ATLAS test! 💥✨They tackled a Mini Math Lesson on Graphing Rational Numbers with some serious AVID strategies in play. 🧠💪 Each student created their own tri-fold brochure to organize notes and examples like true math pros! 📘📝
With all that prep, they’re definitely ready to take on the ATLAS test with confidence. Let’s do this, Bears! 🐻🚀 #SHMSBearPride #AVIDStrong #ATLASReady #MathMasters
🎓🐻 Bear meets Bear! Our SHMS AVID 7th graders had an unforgettable visit to UCA — home of the other Bears! 💜🤝💙 From an epic scavenger hunt 🗺️ to interviewing college students 🎤 (who spilled some fun campus secrets 👀), our kids soaked up every bit of college life. They even got to chow down in the UCA cafeteria like real college students… and let’s just say, they were living the dream! 🍕🍔✨
We’re so proud of how respectful, curious, and AWESOME our students are. UCA, thanks for showing our Bears what their future could look like! 🐻➡️🐻 #SHMSAVID #BearsMeetBears #CollegeBound #FutureFreshmen #UCABears #SHMSPride

🎉🔍 SHMS turned into a real-life Where's Waldo adventure! 🎩🧐 Students and staff were all decked out in their striped shirts, beanies, and glasses, making it a challenge to spot the real Waldo among all those imposters! 👀🎨 Even the villains joined in—though they probably stood out a bit more than they intended! What a fantastic way to bring some playful spirit to the school day! SHMS truly knows how to make learning and fun come together, showing just how awesome our school community is! 😊
💙🐻 SHMS is on the RISE! 🐻💙
FBLA State is officially a wrap, and we are SO PROUD of our SHMS Bears! This year, 10 of our students placed in the TOP 10 in the STATE—a massive leap from last year when we didn’t have any state qualifiers! 🙌🔥
No national qualifiers YET, but the growth, determination, and grit these students showed is what it’s all about. This crew put in the work and made SHMS PROUD. 💼💪
Major love and appreciation goes to Ms. Spurlock and a HUGE SHOUTOUT to Ms. Frakes for her tireless dedication and leadership with FBLA this year! You’ve helped bring this program to life and your impact is showing in a BIG way! 💥👏
Let’s keep that momentum going, SHMS! The future is BRIGHT for our business leaders of tomorrow! ✨ #SHMSPride #BearBusiness #FBLA #FutureLeaders
