Welcome to Souhegan High School!
The Community Council, Faculty, Staff, Administration, and School Board all welcome you to the excitement and challenge of Souhegan High School. Aside from state laws, the Community Council has developed, through democratic deliberation, the policies and principles that are found inside this student handbook.
The student handbook is provided to help give clarity and meaning to Souhegan’s mission and your role within our community. We encourage you to be a part of the continual dialogue that occurs among all school members so that the student handbook reflects the values and philosophy that push each member of our community to achieve their true potential. Our success as a community of learners depends on our ability to develop policies and procedures that honor and value the contributions of all members of the educational community.
Within the student handbook you will find information about the founding documents of the school. These lay out the ideals on which Souhegan High School was founded, while also providing the practical means by which those ideals can be implemented. Additionally you will find information on academics and student life, such as grading policies, athletics, behavioral expectations, attendance policies, academic honesty standards, and off-campus privileges.
If you see an aspect of school life that can be improved or you have a new idea to contribute, you have a great chance to affect change by presenting your thoughts to the Community Council.
It is our hope that this school year brings you great success and that you continue to demonstrate that "Souhegan High School aspires to be a community of learners born of respect, trust, and courage." Have a great year!
Sincerely,
The Community Council
