Our SHMS FBLA Bears absolutely crushed it at the 2025 Fall Conference! 💼💙🐻 They showed up with pride, energy, and leadership — hearing from an incredible motivational speaker, inducting their new officers, and welcoming our newest members into the FBLA family. A huge round of applause for our president, Turner Choat, who took the stage to represent SHMS like a pro! 👏🔥 We couldn’t be prouder of this group of future leaders — they continue to make SHMS shine! And yes… the Aflac duck even stopped by to join the fun! 🦆😂 #SHMSBears #FBLA #FutureLeaders

We couldn’t let Principal Appreciation Month go by without showing some love to the one and only Mr. Hudgeons! Every single day, he leads SHMS with heart, vision, and a whole lot of energy. He’s everywhere—greeting kids in the halls, supporting teachers, cheering on our Bears, and reminding us all what it means to put students first. Mr. Hudgeons is the kind of leader who listens, encourages, and shows up. His dedication, kindness, and passion for our school community make SHMS a place we’re proud to call home. Thank you, Mr. Hudgeons, for setting the bar high and believing in every Bear—students and staff alike. You make a difference every single day, and we’re so lucky to have you leading the way! 💙🐻💪 #BearsAreBest #BearPride #PrincipalAppreciation #ThankYouMrHudgeons

💃🕺 ¡Olé! Ms. Moore’s Spanish class brought the rhythm to SHMS!

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, students have been learning to salsa, exploring the vibrant music, culture, and traditions behind this lively dance. 🎶💃 It’s more than just steps — it’s a celebration of history, connection, and expression across Latin America. 🇲🇽🇨🇴🇨🇺🇩🇴

And let’s talk about our staff salsa stars — Mr. Stanley and Mr. Withers! 🌟 They joined in on the fun and showed that SHMS has some serious moves.

We love seeing our Bears learn, move, and celebrate culture together. 💙🐻

This event and AVID are all about helping our scholars DREAM BIG, set goals, and see their future selves in action. A huge shoutout to our teachers for making learning an adventure every single day! 📚
