Tomorrow, Scituate will hold our in-district annual Shadow Day for all Scituate 8th grade students!
Students will have the chance to experience our Scituate High School Career and Technical Education Academies through hands-on activities that will allow students to explore:
🤖 Robotics
💥 Laser Cutting
🚑 CPR & First Aid
🏥 Dissections, and more while touring our high school workshop and learning spaces, and playing educational games with SHS students and educators.
Out of district students who are interested in applying to an SHS CTE Academy should keep an eye out for information coming soon about our February 4th Open House, where we will welcome all Rhode Island 8th and 9th grade students to join in on SHS CTE exploration!
Interested students can apply now and reserve their spot in one of our 5 RIDE-approved CTE academies! https://hs.scituateschoolsri.net/o/shs/page/cte-pathways

In the Computer Integrated Manufacturing class students used their newly acquired skills and woodworking tools to build practical and useful pieces. This included building shelves, a guitar stand, a divider, a cleaning rag dispenser, a fishing lure, and a lectern.
SHS Unified Volleyball won their first game of the season, against North Smithfield. Go Spartans!
Congratulations to the North Scituate Elementary 2025-2026 Student Council Winners!

Students in Mrs. Stormont's AP Literature class used paint chips to explore new vocabulary and connotation as part of literary analysis. They ended class by choosing the color that best represented themselves.
Congratulations to Leo from North Scituate, who won the Artsonia contest and earned himself a $50 art supply gift card and a $100 gift card for North Scituate Elementary School! Way to go, Leo! Thank you to our school community, who voted and supported Leo in this effort.
Join us in the stands tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct 1st, for our first SHS Unified VB game at 3:30 PM at SHS!
We loved seeing all of these smiling middle school faces earn Spartan Shout-outs last week!
Advanced Ceramics students started the school year off strong by designing and sculpting their own needle tools that they will utilize throughout the course!
Needle tools are one of the most important ceramic tools that can be implemented in projects, and students were very excited to be making their own custom tools!
Currently, students are using their studio time to work on their advanced pinch method assignment. Using this pinch building method, they are turning their two pinch method vessels into a pumpkin that can be functional or decorative.

This year was our 5th annual Homecoming Dance at Hope Pond! Our students showed up looking their best, and there were smiles all around. Thank you to all of our volunteers who worked hard to make this dance a special night for our students.
Thank you to our amazing volunteers who helped with the teacher dunk tank fundraiser for prom last weekend! We were able to raise a total of $300! We also want to give a huge thank you and shout out to our teacher volunteers, Tomas Soucar, Ashley Fochler, Matthew Murphy, Timothy Brown, Mark Reed, and Jena Remka.
In Principles of Engineering, students continued the study of simple machines and how they can be used to produce mechanical advantage!
To provide a visualization and application of all this theory, they hung a bicycle from the ceiling. A bicycle is a great visual representation of two "wheel-and-axle" simple machines whose effects compound: the crankset on the front, and the cassette and tire on the back.
In the activity, students took measurements of the tire, the crank, and every sprocket on the bike, then did the calculations to determine how much mechanical advantage one gets with each gear change. In the pictures below, we see Richard Bond and Stephen Cronan getting measurements of the back wheel, and Bryce Guilmain measuring the bike's crank.

8th graders are finishing a unit titled, Harnessing Human Energy. Students created a device that rescue workers could use to charge a flashlight!
Last week, students in Civil Engineering and Architecture finished up their training on surveying. They talked through the applications, did a paper-based simulation, and took measurements from within the building.
In the end, this culminated with students using a technique known as "differential leveling" to find out the altitude of the classroom from a known point located on the other side of the building.
Here, you can see Joey Jacavone, Alicia Bergeron, Emmett DeMeis, Alivia Goss, Gabby DeFusco, and Zeke Bowden all doing their part to set up the tripod, level the scope, take the reading, and do the math!

Our middle school students have been rockstars! So many Spartan shout-outs were earned last week. Let's keep up the great work!
Congratulations to our Spartan Football Team for their Homecoming victory! Scituate hosted EWG, and our Spartans lit up the field with big plays:
Sophomore Aiden Grover opened the scoring with a powerful QB run.
Senior Drake Dumont bulldozed his way in for a rushing touchdown.
Junior John Rubiano capped off the trifecta with a clutch receiving touchdown.
Caiden Reikhrud stayed perfect on the night, kicking 3-for-3 extra points!
And let’s not forget — without the line, these kids can’t shine. Huge kudos to the linemen who battled every snap to make it all possible.
An incredible team effort and a night to remember under the lights.
Next up: Spartans travel to Tiverton this Friday – let’s bring the energy!
