Dear Saline Families,
Welcome to the 2016-17 school year at Saline High School. I am happy to say that we have had a smooth and productive start. We hit the ground running with our LINK program, where we transitioned 440 freshmen into Saline High School. The Saline High School staff returned energized and ready to provide a quality experience for your student in both classrooms and throughout the building. Here at Saline High School we are proud that we are able to offer a comprehensive high school experience intended to meet all of your needs. I encourage our students to take advantage of the variety of academic and extracurricular opportunities that Saline High has available. Being a comprehensive high school cannot be possible without the support and partnership with our parents and community. As always, if there are any questions or concerns, be sure to you reach out to your teacher, counselor, coach or administrator so that we can assure satisfaction. As we continue to provide real-world educational opportunities, our students will continue to utilize technology in innovative and authentic ways. We work with our parents as partners in monitoring their child’s technology usage to help teach cybersafety. The following links can be helpful to monitor your child and keep them safe.

Please join us in giving a warm “Welcome” to
some of our newest staff members!
Principal, David Raft
Contact (734) 401-4201 @HornetPrincipal My name is David Raft, Principal of Saline High School. I graduated from Saline High School and attended Eastern Michigan University where I received my bachelor’s degree in Business/Marketing Education and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership. I also received a master’s degree in Educational Technology through Michigan State University. I am married to Trisha, a Kindergarten teacher here in Saline and we have two teenage daughters. I have been very fortunate in my educational career to have had many experiences. I spent my first three years teaching in Indiana before returning to Saline. At Saline I have taught Marketing at the High School; was a Career & Technical Education teacher; coached High School Football and Baseball; was a Driver’s Education Instructor; an Assistant Principal at Heritage School, which at that time was a 5th/6th grade building; and then was named Principal of Harvest Elementary, a brand new school within the district. I have spent the past 8.5 years as Principal of Saline Middle School, in which I truly enjoyed my time there. I am looking forward to my new experience as Principal of Saline High School. Whether I am working with seniors, redirecting a 7th grader, or reading with a first grader, I have come to one conclusion: Kids are kids and they all possess many of the same needs, but we as educators have to understand what those are and tailor them to their developmental stages. Mr. Raft can be contacted at Saline High School at (734) 401-4200, or via email.

ZINES GOES GOOGLE!!
On Thursday, September 22, Google's new campus near Plymouth Road in Ann Arbor welcomed
its very first school group for a tour and Q&A
session. Thirty students from Mr. Vollrath's
English 10 Zines class saw first- hand and learned
about intentional design; collaborative models of
work and workplaces; how a work culture
encourages creativity; and what employers like
Google look for in prospective employees. The
goal now is to put what they've learned to use in
the classroom.
