Please remember to set clocks back one hour this weekend. We look forward to welcoming students back on Monday, November 4th.
Families, are you interested in hosting a current exchange student for second semester only? We have a student currently attending Saranac, who was initially only slated to stay for the first semester, but is now looking to stay through the end of the year. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Leader at the JSH. Thank you!

If you drove by the front parking lot of the JSH today, you noticed a large semi tractor and trailer parked out front. Schools to Tools was on campus and connected with 175 students today. Students were exposed to hands on and virtual displays of trade jobs, with a focus on millwright and carpentry. These professionals from the industry were fantastic with our students and staff. We are grateful for this opportunity to expose our students to careers in the trades.
