On behalf of Schenectady High Schools Parent Empowerment Center, I am excited to invite you to join us in supporting our 3rd Annual Village Holiday Dinner, a beloved community tradition that brings together families for an evening of fellowship, warmth, and giving.
This year’s event will take place on Saturday, December 13th at SHS. The Village Holiday Dinner is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of togetherness, generosity, and the spirit of “it takes a village.” This year we will have Ornament making, Cookie Decorating, Hot Cocoa station, Gift wrapping station, Karaoke, a Holiday Movie & lots of fun!!!
Have a great weekend.
We love seeing your faces. Being here connects you to our vibrant school community and ensures you don't miss out on important lessons and fun activities. Keep up the great work—your presence makes a difference.

🎻 Schenectady High School is proud to share that two of our student musicians, Zoe Daniels (flute) and Ayden Chrisman (violin) were selected to perform at this year's NYSSMA All State Festival in Rochester, NY 🎶
Each year, the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) hosts a conference showcasing elite performing ensembles made up of the most accomplished high school musicians in New York State. Zoe and Ayden are off to Rochester today for rehearsals leading up to a performance at the Eastman Theatre on Saturday evening. Congratulations to them both, we are so proud of you!
Did you know that missing just 18 days of school (or 10% of the school year) makes a student chronically absent, regardless of whether the absence is excused?
With only 14 instructional days left until the holiday break, consistent attendance now is critical to: 📚 Close learning gaps. 📋 Prepare for screening assessments 🤝 Maintain classroom connection.
