Dear Saline High School Family,
As many of you may have heard, Saline High School received a School Performance Score (SPS) of an “A” with 102.2 points for the 2023-24 school year. SHS was also named a Top Gains Honoree and an Opportunity Honoree. Additionally, Saline High School is ranked #2 in Louisiana for growth. The news of these outstanding accomplishments was released to our students and staff yesterday afternoon at a pep rally, and the cheers and screams of celebration were tremendous! To say the Bobcat Family is delighted to be back on top would be an understatement.
I wanted to take the time to recognize the people who made all these achievements possible. First and foremost are the Saline students and their parents! Their unwavering dedication and hard work have been integral to our success. This subgroup of the Bobcat Family worked as a team diligently all year to ensure the greatest success possible during state testing. The students took ownership of their learning, and their parents took an active role! Countless hours were spent outside the school day studying and sharpening their skills in every subject. Every challenging task was taken head-on and overcome! Students were willing to put in those extra hours and effort, and their parents were willing to help guide and support them! We simply cannot find the words to express how proud we are of them all!
There is another subset of the Bobcat Family that had a drastic impact on our success: the teachers and staff of SHS! I have often said that Saline High School has one of the best teaching staffs in the state! The entire team is intensely focused on the success of our students, and it shows in every classroom daily! These teachers spend limitless hours of personal time developing, planning, and revising lessons that engage our students in productive learning and promote critical thinking. Each of them measures their success by the success of their students, keeping student growth at the forefront of our mission.
Ultimately, these two subgroups and their relationships have kept Saline High School at a level of Excellence in Education for nearly a decade. The love, trust, and determination shared by the faculty, students, and parents have built a culture of success that is the trademark of the Bobcat Family. This is why every day is “A GREAT DAY TO BE A BOBCAT!”
