St. Croix Central High School

VISION STATEMENT:

Be a district respected by others as a model of excellence in student achievement.

MISSION STATEMENT:

To prepare our students with exceptional character, knowledge, and skills to thrive in their changing world

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. The presentation of Cinderella will begin in just a couple of weeks, we are transitioning to winter activities, and the semester is already halfway completed. I am consistently impressed with the effort our students display in academics, arts, and athletics. They are kind to each other, support each other, and represent our community with great class. It is our expectation that all students display respectful and responsible behavior at all times and they rarely disappoint in displaying those qualities.

Our staff continues to put "students first". The level of personal and professional support they show for our students, families, and each other is inspiring. To say that our staff has a major positive impact on our students would be a huge understatement. I have the pleasure of seeing daily interactions between staff and students that display a belief that every student matters.

Thank you for your continued support of our schools!

Go Panthers,

Mr. Soderberg

While our school will be celebrating Veteran's Day with an all-school assembly, due to COVID we will not be hosting any outside guests for this year.

We thank and appreciate all of our veterans for their selfless service to our country.

Trinity Lutheran Church and Thrivent will be hosting a spaghetti supper at the Hammond Town Hall (1816 County Rd E) to support mental health programming at our schools. Please consider supporting their efforts to support our kids.

SOS Update:

• SOS (Students Offering Support) is back! 59 outstanding students will participate this year who are looking forward to working with the elementary school to provide student support to our K-4th grade students.

FAFSA:

• The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) opened on October 1st.
• What is the FAFSA? The FAFSA, or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is the form that the government, along with several colleges and universities, uses to determine how much financial aid college students should receive each year.

  In general, federal student aid (financial aid from the government) is determined based on four factors:

  1. Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
  2. Year in school
  3. Enrollment status (i.e. part-time or full-time)
  4. Estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) at your intended school. Colleges and universities might use a similar method or a completely different one.

  The FAFSA becomes available every year on October 1st. Students must complete the FAFSA each year. We recommend filling it out as early as possible as some awards are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reporting an Absence

If you need to report a student's absence or early release, please call the attendance line at 715-796-5383 extension 1155.
