🟢 Welcome Back to the 2025–2026 School Year
From the Desk of Dr. Dan Stecken, Superintendent
Seneca Township High School District 160

Dear Seneca High School Students, Families, and Community,
It is with great pride and renewed energy that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Seneca High School—a school grounded in tradition, driven by purpose, and committed to preparing every student for success.
At Seneca High School, “The Seneca Way” isn’t just a slogan—it’s our mission in motion. You can see it on the murals that adorn our hallways and it’s the mindset we bring to every classroom, every activity, and every interaction. The Seneca Way is about progressiveness, respect, accountability, and trust. It’s how we support each student to reach their potential in their Student Success Plan, while remaining rooted in the small-town values that make our school community exceptional.

🌟 Celebrating Progress: Facilities & Growth
This year brings several exciting facility improvements that reflect our ongoing commitment to excellence:
• ⚾ Brand-new turf baseball and softball fields now provide first-class spaces to match our competition gymnasium for our student-athletes to practice, compete, and build memories that last a lifetime in facilities that showcase the Irish Pride found in our community.
• 🌱 The addition of the FFA Land Lab building and upgrades to the existing building elevates our agricultural program, offering hands-on, career-ready learning opportunities in one of our community’s most vital industries.
• 🛣️ And of course, the long-awaited re-paving of Scott Street has created a more welcoming and safer front entryway to campus—something we’re all grateful for!
Each of these upgrades is a visible sign of progress—but they’re also an investment in our students’ futures, our community’s Irish Pride, and moments of awe at Seneca High School.

🎓 Putting Students First: The Student Success Plan
As we continue to enhance our facilities, we are equally committed to deepening our individualized approach to education. Our Student Success Plan isn’t just a checklist—it’s a personalized roadmap for every student’s pathway to individualized success, helping them align their education with their passions, strengths, and goals beyond high school.
Whether they’re pursuing college, a skilled trade, the military, or entrepreneurship, each student deserves a meaningful, relevant education—one that supports who they are and who they are becoming.
We’ll continue to grow this plan in the year ahead with the help of our exceptional teachers, administrators, counselors, and support staff—all working together to ensure no student slips through the cracks.
________________________________________
👏 Gratitude & Forward Momentum
To our returning families, thank you for your continued trust and partnership. To our incoming freshmen and parents, welcome to a school that leads with heart and purpose. And to our dedicated staff—you are the foundation of The Seneca Way, and I’m honored to lead alongside you.
This will be a year of great growth, pride, and purpose. We will challenge ourselves to do the small things right and the big things with courage, staying focused on what matters most—our students and their success.
Here’s to an incredible 2025–2026 school year.
With Irish Pride,
Dr. Dan Stecken
Superintendent
Seneca Township High School District 160
