WALK-OFF. The Fighting Irish Baseball program swept the Somonauk Bobcats in thrilling fashion on Saturday! The Varsity team showed some serious grit, battling back from a 4-run deficit to enter the 7th only trailing 5-6. After loading the bases, the Irish found themselves down to their last out before junior Tommy Watkins delivered a CLUTCH 2-run line drive to right field to cap off the comeback, 7-6! The JV team followed suit, overcoming a 5-run deficit of their own to walk it off on a wild pitch, 8-7. What a day for the Fighting Irish! #RollShrocks ☘️

On Friday, Mrs. Foster's Accounting students attended the Olivet Nazarene University Createur Conference and Pitch Competition.

On Sunday, our Irish IMPACT team hosted a pancake breakfast fundraiser to support our local Packs for Pals program.

That money will support the summer Packs for Pals program, which is run here at SHS, and will also help fund the program for the 2026-2027 school year. The pancake breakfast would not have been possible without SHS faculty, staff, students, and community members. A special thank you to Seneca BP for their generous donations, RISE, NHS, Student Council, FFA, FCCLA, HOSA, and the maintenance crew! #TheSenecaWay ☘️
