Hafa Adai TUNINOS!

The calm ebb and flow of the pacific waves are controlled by the fringing reefs which surround our island to create a gentle arrival on our sandy  beach.  With any damage to the reef from a storm or man-made destruction, will result in destructive waves that  crash onto our now vulnerable home.  Southern High has been through repeated “crashing waves” that have left the facilities in dire need of structural repairs.  In spite of all of this,  teaching and learning continues to thrive.  The resolve to overcome these challenges stem from the students, teachers, staff, and the community.  Southern High School has provided resiliency factors through a classroom learning environment that is welcoming for all students, a variety of sports, clubs, student organizations, and extracurricular activities, empathetic and supportive trusted adults.  All of these resiliency factors might be enough to balance the risk factors facing our students today.   As we move forward, the opportunities become beacons of opportunity and we have created a vessel to traverse the far reaches of our goals.  As this year ebbs, we anticipate the rise and fall of the ocean brining waves of change that will not keep our students from succeeding.
