Dear Saint Nation,

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the 2026–2027 school year at Sandalwood High School! I hope each of you enjoyed a restful and rewarding summer, and I look forward to another outstanding year together.

As I begin my tenth year at Sandalwood, I remain incredibly honored to serve this community. Our school continues to reflect excellence in every aspect—including maintaining our status as an A-rated school. This continued success is a direct result of the dedication, resilience, and commitment demonstrated daily by our students, staff, families, and community partners.

At Sandalwood High School, our mission remains clear: to ensure that every student is learning, growing, and prepared for success beyond graduation. Whether through rigorous academics, Career and Technical Education pathways, Dual Enrollment, extracurricular opportunities, or leadership development, we are committed to providing meaningful experiences that support the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally.

As always, the partnership between home and school is essential to our success. I encourage all families to stay connected, engaged, and involved in your child’s education. Whether through attending school events, communicating with teachers, or supporting academic goals at home, your involvement makes a significant impact.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education and for being an integral part of Saint Nation. I am confident that together, we will make this school year both successful and memorable.

With Saint Pride,

Dr. Saryn L. Hatcher, Principal
Sandalwood High School
