Stratford High School welcomed veterans representing four branches of the military, Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines, and they continue to share how much they appreciated the thought and care that went into honoring them.
Performances by the choir and jazz band were enjoyed by everyone. Our culinary department provided excellent service and delicious food.
So many SHS staff and Stratford Community members came together to make this an incredible celebration of our town's veterans, led by our history students.

It was a fun and memorable night on Thursday as the Stratford High School faculty took on the seniors in our annual flag football game honoring the late Todd Stolze, a former SHS history teacher and coach. All proceeds from the event will go toward a scholarship awarded to a senior in Todd's name.
The faculty continued their winning streak with a 14-6 victory over the seniors. With the win, the faculty will retain the trophy and remain undefeated for the eighth consecutive year! For the seniors, Nikko Wright led the offense at quarterback and connected with teammate Jack Wiltsie for the seniors' lone touchdown. Thank you to everyone who came out to support this special event and help keep Todd's memory alive!

📱 Is screen time the real villain, or are we just measuring it wrong? 🤔
This Thursday on From Forest to Shore, Matt and Michelle are tackling the great digital debate!

The Art Department has put together their annual Ofrenda for Dia de los Muertos, honoring loved ones who have passed away. It showcases our students' beautiful art.
Jennifer Brett, acupuncturist and director of the University of Bridgeport Acupuncture Institute, visited our Career Development classes to share her career journey. One student even had the opportunity to be an “acupuncturist for the day,” placing an acupuncture needle in Jennifer’s arm under her guidance! Students loved her engaging presentation, with several calling her their favorite guest speaker so far. Thank you, Jennifer, for bringing your career to life for our students!
SHS Spirit Week continued with Twin Day and Meme Day! Great job SHS on showing your school spirit.

It's been a great spirit week at Stratford High School. Students and staff are participating each day. On Monday, students dressed like it was 2016; Tuesday was dress like a soccer mom. More pictures to follow as the week continues.
Last Friday, the Red Devils football team hosted Stamford High School, which was also Pink Pledge Night.
SHS proudly participated in the Pink Pledge initiative, which supports breast cancer awareness and fundraising efforts for the Norma Pfriem Breast Center. Through activities such as Pink Days and other school-based events, participating schools help raise awareness and support this important cause.
The game was also a special celebration of our Stratford community, as we welcomed and recognized our local Pop Warner football and cheer teams. During pre-game, our young athletes had the opportunity to run onto the field alongside the Stratford Red Devils as we celebrated the next generation of Stratford student-athletes.
We are proud to see our students, athletes, families, and community come together to support important causes and celebrate the Stratford community. 💗
