Welcome to the Class of 2014:
Although I know that you are receiving a vast
amount of information about many different high schools, I want
you to know that we have just expanded our merit scholarship
program. More students entering Saint Saviour HS in September 2010
have the opportunity to earn scholarships. Students may list SSHS
as their first or second choice on the TACHS exam to be considered
for these scholarships.
Our faculty, students and I want to tell you what
makes us unique and why you should consider coming to Saint
Saviour for your high school years.
Academics and Facilities
We offer Advanced Placement courses (AP) in eight
subject areas: calculus, chemistry, English Language and
composition, English Literature and composition, European history,
Latin, psychology and U.S. history.
Students have the opportunity to earn additional
college credits in French, Latin, Spanish, pre-calculus, and
calculus through our College Advantage Program with St. John's
University, NY.
100% of the Class of 2009 is attending college,
almost all at four-year universities or colleges. Two-thirds of
the 71 graduates received merit scholarship offers totaling more
than $5.3 million.
Biology and computer labs are state of the
art.
Internet access is available from each classroom,
lab, office and automated library. Smartboards have become part of
the daily classroom life at Saint Saviour.
Our sports programs includes varsity and junior
varsity basketball, boosters (step-team), cheerleading, soccer,
softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. Our varsity basketball
team won the '06'-'07' and '07'-'08' Diocesan B Championships. Two
players have been named to the All-Brooklyn Basketball Team and
their coach was named Coach of the Year by Courier Life in 2008.
Because our varsity swim team was undefeated for three consecutive
years, winning the Division Championships each of those years, it
has earned a position in Division A. The JV softball team was a
Diocesan finalist in 2008 and our volleyball team made the
playoffs. In 2007, the Saint Saviour varsity booster squad won the
Brooklyn/Queens Diocesan Championship and their coach was inducted
in the Hall of Fame.
Students participate in a wide variety of clubs
and organizations that include Student Council, drama, stage crew,
art, gospel choir, music ensemble, dance, foreign language
(French, Spanish Gallic), history, literary magazine, school
newspaper, yearbook, anime, campus ministry, chess and RootsNShoots*.
In addition to strong academic programs, our
traditions and social activities throughout the year allow
students to become part of a community and to develop friendships
that remain with them well after graduation. While the religious
identity of Saint Saviour is Roman Catholic, we welcome students
of all ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Experience a day at St. Saviour by coming for a
BUDDY DAY. Please call us at 718.768.4406 and we will arrange a
date. Check out our website www.stsaviour.org
also and see our students in action.
Sincerely yours,
Sister Valeria Belanger, SSND
Principal
