Each of these men have used their life experiences to enhance their teaching techniques. Through their high personal and professional standards they have challenged their students to strive for excel lence. Their primary concern has always been the educational welfare of their stu dents. The students and staff of SCHS dedi cate the 1997-98 yearbook to these superior teachers. Their devotion and expertise will always be remembered and greatly missed. ~ Dec.licatio" Where Ia loa£f or 1!. .. lllree teachers fook forward to retirement. ..

With so many responsibilities, the hassle of getting ready for the day is a tedious one. After hours of late night homeowrk and minutes of digging through the mess in your bedroom to find something to wear, you are finally ready for your day. Whether it is flying to school in your car and bouncing through the pit, or thumping down the road in the cheesewagon with your bag on your lap, we all have different ways of getting to school. Once here, students find themselves pushing through the crowded halls, huddled in a "homework circle" at their lockers, coping with random room temperatures throughout the school, and rolling dice for seats in the cafeteria. The life of a SCHS student hardly ends at2:25. Many students can be found either kicking a ball, swimming a stroke, playing an instrument, or having a meeting both before and after school.
