Global Education

Sharon High School takes seriously its commitment to preparing our students to be "informed, thoughtful, and effective contributors to a globally connected world." The manner in which SHS strives to accomplish this mission takes many forms, including: curricular materials and initiatives, course offerings, foreign travel, international student exchanges, clubs with global themes, student recognition programs, hosting visitors from other countries, guidance services, and community events/partnerships. Our students and staff fully embrace these opportunities, and we also always welcome new ideas through which we can support efforts to achieve our mission.
