The Transformation Starts Here

Laying the foundation for a meaningful life does not happen overnight. We give students the love, tools and wise freedom to grow into their highest selves throughout their time at SHS. As a result, Gators become compassionate thinkers, who are curious about the world they live in and eager to make it better for others. Learn about the values that set us apart.
