Here is a look at the first day of winter sports tryouts/practices at Stoughton High! The girls basketball team, boys hockey team, and boys and girls indoor track and field teams are pictured here.
Now that we are in December and the official start of winter is right around the corner, here is a reminder of our school cancellation and delayed opening plan for when there is inclement weather: https://www.stoughtonschools.org/page/cancellation-delayed-opening-plan
Here are some photos of the Stoughton High Marching Black Knights taking part in the Stoughton Veterans Day Parade.
Congratulations to Andrew Causey (1st place), Noah Schwenzfeier (2nd place), and Adam Raja (3rd place), all sophomores at Stoughton High School, for winning the VFW's Voice of Democracy audio essay contest at the local level this school year! High school students across the country enter this contest. This year, students were asked to record a 3-5 minute audio essay answering "What are the greatest attributes of our Democracy?" At SHS, students in the Pre-AP US History class submitted entries. Stoughton American Legion Commander Michael Pazyra, representing the Stoughton VFW on behalf of Commander James Kelly, presented certificates and prizes to the local winners at SHS last week. The three winners from SHS are pictured here with Commander Pazyra, SHS Principal Julie Miller, SHS History Department Director Jaime Regan, and SHS Pre-AP US History teacher Melanie Ingrao.
Our MIAA Student Ambassadors, SHS seniors Jarred Daughtry, Morgan Groppi, and Bunmi Fabikun, pictured left to right, attended the 29th Annual MIAA Sportsmanship Summit, held November 9, 2023 at Gillette Stadium.
Congratulations to Stoughton High senior Morgan Groppi for signing her letter of intent to play lacrosse at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire! Morgan served as a captain of the SHS girls lacrosse team last spring, earning team MVP and Hockomock League honorable mention recognition. She is also an accomplished field hockey player at SHS, serving as a captain of the team this fall season.
The Patriot Ledger recognized Stoughton High junior Devon Rossi Benson, a lineman on the SHS football team, as one of 40 "unsung heroes" on high school football teams across the South Shore this season. Devon, wearing his 76 jersey, is pictured here. From the Patriot Ledger: [Devon] has made an impact for the Black Knights on both sides of the ball. Coach Christopher Evans said he consistently faces double-teams, and even an occasional triple-team, in the trenches. "He goes hard, never makes an excuse and shows up ready to work," Evans said. "We've had to make some adjustments up front on the offensive line and he does whatever is asked of him."
We had a photo shoot with our SHS fall sports captains and here they are sporting their new captain's jackets. Looking sharp!
The Stoughton High Marching Black Knights performed for friends and family on September 9, 2023, with the band and color guard giving spectators a preview of this year’s show, titled “Dawn to Dusk”. Take a look at some photos from their performance here...
Stoughton High students were all smiles as they arrived for the first day of school!
Continuing a tradition now in its 29th year, five members of this year’s graduating class from Stoughton High were named "Golden Knights" - Tagh Swierzewski, Samyah Nicolas, Hannah Lambert, DeShunna Frazier, and Chrisler Charles (pictured left to right in the group photo). These students have "demonstrated outstanding qualities of character, leadership, and service to the school community." Each year members of the SHS staff are asked to nominate seniors who deserve recognition for their service and commitment, as well as for their exemplary personal qualities. This prestigious award is presented annually at the Class Night ceremony. (A special thank you to Stoughton Co-Operative Bank for underwriting the cost of the trophies and plaques.) Congratulations to all five honorees! Read more about each Golden Knight recipient here: https://www.facebook.com/stoughtonpublicschools/posts/723485653112531
