After the recent storms traveled through our little town, the STC National Honor Society helped replace Veterans’ flags in the local cemeteries. We honor and thank all who have served.
Hello STC families,
Due to the recent storms, our Interim Superintendent , Sarah Kettelhohn, has organized an opportunity for community members to come into the building to shower (bring your shower essentials) and utilize charging outlets.
There will be hot dogs available while you visit, and water fountains inside the building to fill up your cups or water bottles if needed.
This event will run from 2 PM to 6 PM in the new gymnasium area at the high school for today, Saturday, May 17, 2025.
If any St. Charles Community Schools staff members would like to help, please feel free to stop up as your availability allows.
Thank you and have a great afternoon!
St. Charles Community Schools will be closed today, Friday, May 16, 2025, due to no power and severe weather damage. The daycare will also be closed today. Stay safe and have a great extended weekend.

The NHS advisors, Mr. Wicke and Mrs. Samyn would like to thank the students for representing St. Charles so well, and the parent chaperones for making the trip fun and safe.
Teacher Appreciation Week is something to celebrate, so we are taking this opportunity to celebrate ALL of the St. Charles Community Schools staff.

The Class of 2025 celebrated Decision Day on Friday, May 2, 2025. Students were able to write letters to their future selves, thank an adult for making a difference, sign their banner, take photos, sign, and then read their declaration during Senior Send Off.

STC high school students took a trip to Howell, to the Operating Engineers 324 training site, to learn more about careers in the construction field. Students drove steamrollers, used a backhoe, welded, worked with iron, learned about the increasing use of drones, and so much more!
The 2025 Senior Send-Off Video was presented today at the Decision Day event. We want to extend an early CONGRATS to the 2025 senior class who are wrapping up their "last" events as Bulldog students. Best of luck, Class of 2025!!!

The STC Kindergarteners worked on color mixing to make these rainbow clouds. They then had fun creating an expression on the cloud's face. The little students' faces while designing their clouds and the designs created were all so fun to see!
