Sierra Lutheran High School

It’s that time of year again when a new crop of high school seniors look forward to traveling whatever paths they’ve chosen for themselves and more than a few eighth-grade students are looking forward with a combination of dread and anticipation, to beginning their high school years.

Of course graduation ceremonies mark these transitions and there are many planned for area schools. For those with friends or loved ones graduating this year, here is a list of graduations for easy scheduling. Locations are at the school unless otherwise noted.

Herb Schewe, Spanish teacher at Sierra Lutheran High School, treated his students to Mexican cuisine at El Charro Avita in Carson City on Wednesday as a reward for their hard work over the year.

Black Rock Solar began construction in late February on two new Carson City area photovoltaic arrays: 324 ground-mounted panels at Sierra Lutheran High School and 193 rooftop panels at Silver State Charter Schools.

That means 135 kW of clean energy from the sun powering the 91-student Christian school and the 7th to 12th-grade charter school. It also means an annual utility-bill savings of more than $19,000 for the two schools – that’s $19,000 that can go toward expanded educational opportunities within the Carson City and Douglas County communities.
