Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I hope this letter finds you well and that you had a restful and enjoyable summer. As we embark on the new academic year, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for the wonderful opportunities that lie ahead for our students, staff, and community. At Soldan ISHS, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every student can thrive. Over the summer, many improvements were made around our building. We received 500 new student desks, over 1500 new books in our school library, libraries in the English Language Arts classrooms, whiteboards in every classroom, and a state-of-the-art kitchen where student meals can be prepared onsite.  

Our dedicated team of educators are working diligently to prepare engaging and challenging learning experiences that will inspire our students to reach their full potential. With the St. Louis Public Schools’ Portrait of a Graduate driving the work we do, we are excited to introduce several new courses, initiatives, and partnerships this year aimed at enhancing the educational experience for all our students to foster a love of learning. We believe these additions will further support our purpose to equitably educate and support our scholars academically, socially, and emotionally so that they can grow and succeed in their personal and professional endeavors and positively contribute to an ever-evolving global society.
