Principal's Update
Friday, October 22, 2021
Dear Shawsheen Students, Parents/Guardians, and Colleagues,
Thank you to the SVTHS Guidance Department for hosting another successful College & Career Night! We were excited to see the number of students and parents/guardians who attended the event last night and took advantage of the opportunity to learn more about the various postsecondary opportunities available to them. Preparing students to make informed decisions about their postsecondary paths is at the core of what we do here at Shawsheen. A few weeks ago, the SVTHS Guidance Department sent information to students and their families about the financial aid process, to support students who plan to enroll in higher education after graduation. Please review the Financial Aid Message to Seniors and the Financial Aid Message to Juniors if you haven't done so already.
Student Representative to the School Committee
Please join me in congratulating Tayla Tildsley, a senior in Business Technology/Marketing from the town of Billerica, who was elected by the Student Cabinet to serve as the Student Representative to the School Committee for the 2021-2022 school year! In my October 8 Principal's Update, I announced this year's members of the Student Cabinet - please refer to that update for additional information about the Student Cabinet and the Student Representative to the School Committee.
