We're still buzzing from the incredible energy of our 2025 Highhold Games and Pep Rally last Friday! This wasn't just any event; it was the highlight of the year, a full-day celebration honoring our middle school's 60th Anniversary, and it truly was a day to remember, full of tradition and new memories. We started the celebration off with a lively Pep Rally, featuring electrifying performances from our amazing Stimson Band and dazzling Dance Team. Our Fall Sports teams were also buzzing with excitement as they graced the stage to receive recognition. The games kicked off outdoors with a fantastic opening ceremony led by Mr. Duggan, where our talented Jazz Choir set the perfect tone, singing a phenomenal rendition of the 1965 classic Beatles song, "Baby, Drive My Car." Students participated in a host of spirited games, including potato sack races, barrel rolling, pickleball, and volleyball. The competitive highlight of the evening was definitely the intense flag football tournament. A huge congratulations goes out to the winning team of the 2025 Highhold Flag Football Tournament, TEAM ELITE, and their coach, Mr. Franklin, on their well-deserved victory! Even our teachers got in on the action, participating in some challenging and hilarious games of their own! This whole day was about more than just fun; it was a day to honor tradition and make new ones too. A tremendous thank you goes out to all the people who made this special day happen, with special recognition to the Silas Wood/Stimson PTA for their generous donations and enthusiastic participation, as well as the tireless staff that helped plan and execute every detail of this special milestone. We can't wait to see what the next 60 years hold!

Stimson students may not use their cell phones during the school day. Students MUST secure their phones in their lockers at the start of the school day where it will be stored until dismissal. We will be communicating this to students regularly throughout the month of September. As of October 1st, any student found with their cell phone during the school day will have their phone taken and held until the end of the day where they can pick it up at dismissal. If a student is found to have their phone a second time, their phone will be taken and held until a parent or guardian can pick it up from school. Additional instances will result in detention.

All Students enrolled in SHUFSD are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch in the 25/26 school year!
