I hope you have had an enjoyable weekend and just want to say they will get a whole lot better starting with the next one.  We are almost there!  Just five more testing periods and the 2021-2022 school year will come to an end this Wednesday.  Just a few more days of focus and school business.  You got this Spartans!



Thank you, parents and guardians, for all your support this past school year.  Throughout the continued challenges of the pandemic our students were provided a positive and supportive learning environment and a wide complement of extracurricular activities and athletic opportunities.  It is with your continued involvement, participation and support of the educational process at Stoneham High School that continues our success.  Thank you and have a wonderful Summer.



Students, thank you for all your efforts this past year. It is you who has faced perhaps the greatest challenges in the learning process, but have continued to rise to the occasion.  It is in these moments of challenge, of stepping up, of working through moments that seem impossible that we grow the most.  Thank you for stepping up in your education and for making the 2021-2022 school year so successful in the classroom, on the stage and on the field.



End of year business includes returning school property.  Students should return all course books to their classroom teachers, any borrowed books to the library and their chromebook and charger to the Technology Office before leaving school on Wednesday, June 15.



Here’s to a positive and successful remaining day of the school year. Have a great week!
