Beginning immediately, students will be allowed to listen to Ipods and MP3 players in the courtyard and in the cafeteria during their scheduled lunch period.   Any student observed using these devices at any other time, or in any other location, will be required to turn it over to school personnel and pay a $15.00 fee to have it returned to them. 

There has been no change in the policy for cell phones.  Cell phones are not allowed to be turned on at any time during the school day, from 8:30am, until 4:00 pm.  There will be a $20.00 charge to return a phone beginning February 1, 2010.

On October 27TH, 2009, the SHS Cross Country Teams participated in the HISD District Meet. The boys and girls teams placed third in the District and will be competing in the Regional meet on Saturday November 7, 2009. BRING IT!

This is a group picture (minus Mr. Allen and Mr. Monaghan) taken while on a dinner cruise in Seattle, WA.  This July, 13 members of the staff and faculty represented Sharpstown High School at a Professional Learning Communities seminar in Seattle, WA. The focus of the conference was to improve upon the schools' use of PLCs to continue improving the schools'  success with all students and their parents.   Those that attended include Mr. Monaghan, Mr. Allen, Mr. Mock, Ms. Sharkey, Ms. Porter, Mr. Dober, Ms. Fairbanks, Ms. Hopkins, Ms. Latiolais, Ms. Jeppeson, Mrs. Felton, Ms. Cipriani, and Mrs. Honaker.

Sharpstown High School is proud to announce that the strategic educational tactic of utilizing "Professional Learning Communities" (PLC's) will be in effect again this coming school year. 

Statistics indicate that having teachers of common subjects create teams to collaborate is helping Sharpstown raise test scores.  Learners are reaping the benefits as they are fostering "Higher Level Thinking Skills" by being part of the Professional Learning Community.

Congratulations to Mr. John Allen. Mr. Allen was selected as the "Principal of the Year" for the West District Region for the 2008-2009 school year.  The faculty, staff, and student body at Sharpstown is honored to have him as our friend and leader.  
 
Think about what kind of job you might like in the future.  Most professions, including those in healthcare, computer technology, and engineering, for example, require a college degree or certificate.  You can learn more about requirements for different careers, and what majors are offered at Texas' public colleges and universities at www.CollegeForTexans.com . If you know the direction you are going, you'll stay on track, saving yourself time and money.  Ms. Andrea is the GO Center counselor and is located in room 100.  Please feel free to visit with her and get all the information you need to make a wise college decision.
