Mr. Gary Culbreth completed his final shift as a member of the SHS Housekeeping staff on Wednesday night. Seneca High School would like to recognize Gary, along with our entire evening custodial crew, for their vital service to our campus. Beyond their hard work, they have been true "superfans" of Irish athletics and activities throughout the years.

Congratulations on your retirement from Seneca High School, Mr. Culbreth! We wish you the very best in your next chapter. You will be missed! #IrishPride ☘️

The Lady Irish Softball Team opened their season on Thursday with a 4-1 VICTORY over the Geneseo Maple Leafs! The Lady Irish found themselves down 1-0 through 4 innings but were finally able to break through with a big 5th inning rally. Tessa Krull drew a walk, Ameliah Weber laid down a bunt, Marlie Lissy drew a walk, and Aurora Weber got the timely hit to tie the score. The team was led at the plate by Aurora Weber (1-2, 1R, 1RBI), Emma Mino (1-3), and Hayden Pfeifer (1-3). Tessa Krull and Hayden Pfeifer were solid in the circle and the defense made some clean plays behind them. The Lady Irish will be back in action on Wednesday at home against GSW. Great start, ladies! #IrishPride ☘️
