Discover SHS (Sisters High School)
SHS is an amazing high school where we do all we can to empower students to both fulfill their potential and to embrace the wonderful opportunities our school and community have to offer. The size of our school allows us to prioritize making connections with each and every student while still having access to one-of-a-kind programs that leverage our proximity to the wilderness and our incredibly supportive community. Whether building a custom acoustic guitar, participating in multi-day outdoor expeditions, exploring a career in aviation, or creating and performing original music with our partners at the Sisters Folk Festival, our students are exposed to a place-based, relationship-driven learning environment that prepares them to be engaged citizens.
In addition to the unique programming described above, we also offer a full complement of academically rigorous courses and other career-technical education programming led by an amazing staff that is committed to student success. To complement this excellent instruction in the classroom, our teachers and support staff also meet regularly to ensure that all students are on a path to graduation and post-secondary success.
A big part of that preparation also includes access to the Aspire program in which all students have the opportunity to work with community members that help them navigate the path toward college and career readiness. As they near the end of their high school journey, every single Sisters High School student has access to scholarships through our partnership with a local non-profit foundation called Sisters Gro. Last year, our graduates received over $385,000 dollars in local scholarships.
