High School students spent time at Tecumseh South spreading cheer by reading Santa letters to PreK and Kindergarten students. Smiles, giggles, and wide-eyed wonder filled the room as our youngest learners listened to Santa's words come to life through the voices of our high school students.
Moments like these are a reminder of the special connections between all our schools that make Shawnee Heights such a great place to learn and grow. 🎄✨
The conversation included what is working well, areas to grow, and questions about the bond process and future school improvements. Students also shared thoughtful feedback on lunches, bus routes, and classroom experiences.
This group will meet four times during the 2025–26 school year, and we’re thankful for their leadership and perspective.

Today, our 2026 KTOY nominees, Mrs. Bruns and Mr. Carr, welcomed the other Region 2 nominees to our district for a tour of Shawnee Heights!
The visit kicked off at SHHS with coffee at T-Bird Grounds, a music performance, and a tour of the school. They ended their high school tour with a hands-on stop at the Thunderbird Greenhouse 🌱
They also toured SHMS and Berryton Elementary! We hope they enjoyed their time in Thunderbird Territory! ❤️🩵

When the trees start showing off their new balloon decorations. 😄🌳
Our SHMS students took their learning to new heights as they explored heat transfer by launching their own hot air balloons. This lesson provides students with a memorable way to observe how warm air rises and powers flight.
Great work, scientists — keep reaching for the sky! 🚀🔬
🍞 Writing in Action: PB&J Edition!
Mrs. Wooten’s SHMS students put their writing skills to the test with a delicious challenge — crafting step-by-step instructions for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
The twist? Mrs. Wooten followed their directions exactly as written… messy hands and all.
This hands-on lesson provided students with a fun way to practice sequencing, clarity, and detail, while illustrating the importance of clear communication.

Through four key experiences, including Reality U, Career Speakers, Military and College pathways, and SHHS Transitions, students explored real-world finances, career options, postsecondary choices, and what to expect as they prepare for high school.
Future U offers students a meaningful glimpse into the choices, responsibilities, and opportunities that await them in their next chapter. #FutureU #RealityU
