There are still many colleges and universities visiting SHS to talk to prospective students about their institutions. All juniors and seniors are welcome to attend, but must receive a pass from the guidance office at least one day in advance. Also, seniors have the opportunity to apply for an immediate decision day. This is where a college admissions counselor visits SHS and decides on the spot if the student is accepted to the college/ university. Congratulations to all of the students accepted on immediate decision days so far! There is still a chance to apply for an immediate decision from Moravian College. All applications must be submitted by Oct. 16.

Finally, the high school will have an early dismissal 12:15 p.m. Oct. 18.
