Each day approximately 470 excited pre-K through sixth-grade students attend our school. Our faculty and staff are committed to supporting the academic, behavioral, and social needs of all students through quality instruction, secondary supports, and services designed to meet the needs of all learners.  Each and every student by virtue of attending SHES will be equipped with academic, behavioral, and social skillsets to support successful school and life outcomes. Small focus groups are provided for students who need additional time or support or enrichment.
