South Central High School

Mrs. Lindsay’s freshman science class was learning about Rube Goldberg machines and wanted to challenge the senior physics class to make a better machine. The point of the project was to make something that had five different simple machines and a total of seven simple machines in order to pop a balloon. A lot of the students used toy cars with sharp objects attached to them in order to pop the balloon. However, some of the groups used thumb tacks or nails. There was one exotic contraption that used baked beans to trigger a thumbtack to shoot up into the balloon which was very entertaining.

The high school competed in an Ugly Sweater Contest to add a little bit of Christmas excitement before break! The students and teachers rocked those sweaters!

South Central High School students gathered at the flagpole on September 23 to pray for their school, their community, and their country. See You at the Pole, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten students praying at their school. Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September.

See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. About 28 students took part in the event. A similar event was also held at SCEMS, with 78 taking part.

The 2020-21 school year is going great! We have had to make adjustments to the school year but the hard work and dedication by our staff, students, board, and community have exceeded all expectations. We have a great school community that is dedicated to providing our students with an outstanding educational experience. All this would not be possible if everyone didn’t work together to ensure that students' health and education is a top priority here. I am awfully proud to be working in such a great district.  Please download our google activities calendar to stay up to date on all our school events. Link is below. We love to hear feedback so if you have a question or comment please feel free to contact me. Go Timberwolves!!
