This Handbook is so you will know your rights, responsibilities, and expectations when attending SHHS.   We believe students perform more successfully when they have the information needed to become well-informed decision makers.  Please review this handbook so you may refer to this important instructional tool. 

South Harrison High School has a strong tradition of student scholarship and citizenship.  This occurs because student initiative and responsibility, along with a knowledgeable, caring and respectful staff, plus a caring supportive community, make our high school unparalleled in academic, athletic, and extracurricular opportunities.  We find students experience success at SHHS when they are committed to school, maintain good attendance, act in a respectful manner, prepare for class, and participate in extracurricular activities.

 Student standards are as follows:

• Respect property: yours, the school’s and other people’s

• Do not interfere with anyone’s educational learning, including your own

• Treat everyone in the building with respect and courtesy

• Make sure that academic achievement takes precedence over other activity

• Observe all policies and rules

 We ask you to review the following pages so that you become knowledgeable not only of “YOUR RIGHTS” as a South Harrison Student, but also, “YOUR RESPONSIBILITY” for being an important member of the South Harrison community.

South Harrison High School fosters an environment that promotes personal responsibility for all students through community, collaboration, and parental support.  Administration, teachers, and support staff provide a safe and trusting atmosphere that allows development of life-long skills that will allow students to succeed in a globally competitive society.
