Shepherd Freshmen attended a field trip to the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways in Mount Pleasant. This visit offered an opportunity to explore the rich history and culture of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe through engaging exhibits and artifacts. Students gained a deeper understanding of indigenous perspectives and the cultural heritage of the Great Lakes region.
In Exploration Hour, students get the chance to pursue their passion project. Here’s how Quintyn describes his project: "I am building the Little Caesars Arena, with the Detroit Pistons basketball court. I have built the actual court with toothpicks, all surrounded by the 3D printed stands."
We aren’t scared of our principals here at SHS; we appreciate you! Happy Principals Month, Mr. Cornwell & Mr. Willett! 👻

In History vs. Hollywood students used VR headsets to tour a real WWII Navy destroyer! After watching Greyhound, they compared the accuracy of the movie to what life aboard a ship was really like.
Today, Mr. Halliwill’s Leadership students were trained in CPR and life-saving skills. Leadership isn’t just about guiding others—it’s about being ready to step up in any situation. Our students are now equipped with the knowledge to help in emergencies and keep our community safe. While we hope they never need to use the training, we are glad they are empowered with the skills and know-how. Special thank you to Chief Sawyer and Nurse Alayna Nederhoed
Don't forget that tomorrow (9/3) is picture day!
