Principal’s Message

Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members,

Welcome to SAIL High School - School for Arts and Innovative Learning, where creativity shines and every student is welcomed to bring their whole authentic self through our doors. As principal, it is my honor to lead a school community that celebrates artistic expression, innovative thinking, and the unique brilliance that each student contributes to our vibrant learning environment.

At SAIL High School, our dedicated team of educators and staff work collaboratively to nurture creative minds and innovative problem-solvers. We understand that every student has their own creative spark, and our goal is to provide personalized pathways that honor each learner's artistic talents while supporting their academic and personal growth.

Our small, intimate learning environment allows us to truly know each student and foster meaningful connections that inspire lifelong learning. From hands-on creative classes where students explore their artistic passions to dual enrollment opportunities that challenge and prepare them for college success, we offer a comprehensive educational experience that bridges creativity with academic rigor.

As we embark on another school year, we are excited about the opportunities ahead. Our focus on arts integration, innovative learning approaches, and hands-on experiences reflects our commitment to preparing students for success in a world that values both creativity and critical thinking.

I encourage you to stay connected with SAIL High School through this website, social media, and our regular communications. Your involvement is essential to the success of our school community, and we look forward to working together to create an exceptional educational experience where every student's creativity can flourish.

Thank you for your continued support of SAIL High School. Together, we will achieve great things while celebrating the unique gifts each member of our community brings!


Warm regards,
Sarah Hembree
