Today's Care Closet Open House was a success! Both NHS and FCCLA members were in attendance, as were their sponsors, Ryan Burrows and Erika Alexander. We have significantly reduced our stockpile of clothing and created a list of needed items based on what we were able to give away today. For example, there is a high demand for children's clothing, which we have very little of, and we could use more of the types of clothing our tweens and teens prefer: hoodies, sweatpants, and t-shirts. Satanta apparel remains a fan favorite! Additionally, we have given away most of our shoes. Please consider donating these items.
We are now ready to accept donations of personal hygiene items, including soap, shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste.
Finally, we are planning to host a Prom Shop Open House in the near future to help ensure every student who attends prom does so with confidence. We would love to receive your gently used dresses, formal shoes, and jewelry.
If you need to set up a donation drop-off time outside of regular school hours, please contact the office at 620-649-2611.
The Satanta High School little free library is seeking donations of new and gently used books for its shelves. Please consider making a donation today!

Satanta Junior High 6th Grade Class Visits Haskell County Courthouse
Today, the Satanta Junior High 6th grade class had the exciting opportunity to tour the Haskell County Courthouse. During the visit, they engaged with representatives from various departments and spoke with department heads to learn about their titles and responsibilities.
The students also gained insight into the educational qualifications and steps required to become an elected official. It was a valuable experience that offered a closer look at the workings of local government and the roles that keep our communities running smoothly.
This educational field trip was made possible thanks to sponsors Joyce Apsley and Angelica Gallardo. The trip and tour were facilitated by school resource officer Tiffany Gasseling, whose efforts ensured the students had an informative and engaging experience.
