SHS Fall Standout Athlete, Edgar Najera. Edgar participated in both football and cross country. In cross country, he set a new school record with a 5K time of 17:41 and qualified for the state cross country championship by placing 11th at regionals. He medaled at every meet this season. In football, he led the team defensively with 63.5 solo tackles, 8 pass breakups, and 1 interception. He also led the team with 27 broken tackles and 2 receiving touchtowns.

Edgar has shown outstanding leadership and served as a role model for younger athletes. He works hard, often playing football on Friday night and getting up early the next morning to run in a cross country meet. He encourages and supports his teammates while striving to improve his own skills. We are proud of you, Edgar!

We are also currently (and almost always) accepting donations of clothing. We only ask that you carefully select items for donation that are clean, stain-free, and not in need of repairs.

As basketball season approaches, we will also be accepting monetary donations to the SPEAR program, which aims to ensure that no student decides not to play a sport or participate in an activity because he or she doesn't have the shoes or clothing items needed to do so.

Thank you for your continuing supprort of USD 507 students!
