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. 💗

He works as an outpatient/inpatient clinical dietitian at Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center and teaches at Housatonic Community College.
Thank you, Dr. Young, for spending time with our students!

Remembering September 11
Stratford High School students and staff joined community members on the Town Green for Stratford’s 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony, honoring the lives lost and recognizing the courage and service of those who responded on September 11, 2001. Town and community officials shared reflections and offered words of remembrance, and the Stratford High School Choir beautifully performed the National Anthem under Mr. Leinen's direction.
Students from Mr. Takesue’s AP Government and Politics and U.S. History classes, as well as Mrs. Indiveri’s classes, attended the ceremony, providing an opportunity to learn from and participate in this important community tradition of remembrance and reflection.
