Message from Our Principal
Dear SHS Parent/Guardian(s) and Student(s):
Welcome to Seymour High School and the 2021-2022 school year. A key component to the success of our students and school is clear communication between the school and home. This is not intended to be a complete list of every rule or guideline, but rather a general outline of policies and procedures for smooth operation of our school. Many instances have unique circumstances, making it impossible to have a policy for every situation. These guidelines, tempered with good judgement and common sense, serve as the basis to make time at Seymour High School pleasant and rewarding for students, staff, and parents.
The administration, faculty, and staff of SHS are excited about the beginning of another school year. If I can be of any assistance throughout the year, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Greg Haggard
Principal
