We wanted to communicate this decision tonight so our families could make plans for child care tomorrow. Stay safe and stay warm!
Sterling Public Schools has been canceled for tomorrow, Friday January 12th.
This decision is based on the National Weather Service’s Severe Winter Storm Warning for Sterling, IL where they are forecasting snow amounts between 6 and 12 inches then followed by 40 mph winds. With these conditions, our country roads will be extremely dangerous, making bus routes almost impossible to travel. We wanted to communicate this decision tonight so families could make plans for child care tomorrow.

Our very first Future Educator Club alumni winter social was a blast! We had current SHS students, current college students, current teaching staff, AND retired educators all under one roof . There was a 55 year graduation gap between our oldest and youngest grads, and it’s so exciting to think that while teaching changes all the time, the heart of WHO teaches does not. We even hosted a contract signing for one of our graduating alumni who will be teaching for SPS next year!
Wishing all of our Golden Warriors a happy holiday and new year! We will see you in January!
Students were serenaded today with live Christmas music as they finished up finals. Thank you Asa Church, Amy Boze, Erik and Nicole Oberg, and Kevin O'Keefe for spreading holiday cheer! #SpreadingJoy #GoldenWarriors #Holidays

It's been an eventful week here at SHS:
We had a special visit from former SPS teacher Adam Gee who came to talk finance with our students, our annual Foods Class Chili Cook Off where students compete to make the best chili, and our Freshman Class Advisors running concessions for the girl's basketball game against Geneseo.
We are officially two weeks away from winter break! The countdown begins!

Keep up the great attendance routine this year! As we approach the end of the semester, we can check to see if your child is on track to stay in the green zone for attendance. If they have missed less than five days 1st semester, they are on track to meet their attendance goal at the end of the school year! Positive attendance is the first step to academic success!
A VERY successful SHS Travel Club trip for this winter! They started at the #bixbeiderbeckemuseum, followed by a delicious brunch at The Diner, and their favorite, Harrison Street Escape Rooms. Both groups successfully escaped, so they celebrated by stopping by Crumbl Cookie. The kids are already asking about the next adventure! Thank you Mrs. Hartman and Mrs. Johnson for creating these memorable experiences for our students!
