Southern Union State Community College is excited to offer two summer STEM experiences for students who are underrepresented in STEM fields.  Rising juniors and seniors may apply for IMAGINE, a one-week program, and graduated seniors may apply for ACHIEVE, a three-week program.  

Please see the Southern Union website for additional information.  ACHIEVE and IMAGINE will prepare students to pursue STEM careers and academic excellence and put cash in their pockets upon successful program completion.  

Encourage students to apply soon as the number of seats in each program is limited.  Students must be logged in to their Google account to access the ACHIEVE and IMAGINE online applications on the Southern Union website.  Students must upload an updated resume (.pdf) to the online application.  The application deadline is Thursday, May 16, 2019.

Our Math Team enjoyed competing on April 11th in Southern Union’s largest math tournament yet with students from 22 schools. Our students represented us well, all of our teams earned points during the ciphering phase, but no trophies this year. We’re bringing back something more important than a trophy...Tiffany Eimicke won the Mathematics Scholarship!!! This is the equivalent of a presidential scholarship and HUGE for Tiffany, who plans to attend Southern Union in the Fall!

Along with 3rd Nine Weeks report cards, students received a letter about online registration for next year. Lee County is using a new program for online registration this year, but like before, it must be completed by the parent/guardian of EVERY student that will be attending Lee County Schools. 
The letter that went out with report cards includes a code that MUST be used for the online registration process. The deadline for completing the online registration is May 3rd.

AP Exam Fees are $110. Free/Reduced Lunch Students' AP Exam Fees are $15. Students should pay either their AP teacher or Mrs. Drury. All AP test fees must be paid by May 3rd.

Food deliveries from services such as UberEats and GrubHub or pizza deliveries cannot be accepted at Smiths Station High School. 

Any food brought to SSHS for a student must be brought by someone on a student’s contact list and should be delivered in a brown paper bag or lunchbox/bag.

FYI, SSHS can no longer accept checks written in gel ink (pink, purple, red, etc). These checks cannot be read by the scanners that our bank uses for processing.
