Sterling High School

Sterling High School district offers a complete, quality program of education for all of its students. Academic, athletic and extra-curricular offerings give their students the opportunity to develop needed skills and explore areas of interest. Each Sterling student graduates well-educated and experienced enough to succeed after high school.

At Sterling, the school district personnel, parents and community work together to make the school a great place to learn. According to the school’s website, the Parent-Teacher-Association (PTA) and many booster clubs help promote students’ community service and civic awareness. These organizations are strong partners with the school district in providing opportunities for their students.

In September 2007, Sterling implemented modified block scheduling. Students have a combination of semester block courses and traditional year long courses. The curriculum is an open, comprehensive curriculum. Advanced Placement is offered in English, U.S. History, and Biology, Calculus, and Chemistry.
