World Kindness Day – November 13, 2026

Sussex County Public Schools proudly celebrates World Kindness Day, a special occasion that reminds us of the power of kindness, compassion, and respect. We encourage our students, staff, families, and community members to spread kindness through simple acts such as offering a helping hand, sharing encouraging words, and treating others with respect. Together, we can create a positive, welcoming environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and appreciated.

Remember, a small act of kindness can make a big difference!

On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, Sussex Central High School participated in National Teacher Jean Jacket Day!

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest memories! This was just one small way to showcase the positive culture we continue to build every day here at SCHS, create meaningful memories, share a few laughs, and take some even cooler pictures along the way!

A BIG shout-out to everyone who participated and helped make the day special! Pictured are just a few of our amazing faculty members who joined in on the fun!

It's always a great day to be a Sussex Central Tiger!

NOTICE

Students in Ms. Jarratt’s fifth-grade science class put their learning into action by creating simple circuits and investigating which everyday objects are conductors or insulators.

Students tested a variety of items, including staples, paper, erasers, glue sticks, paper clips, aluminum foil, rubber bands, bracelets, pencils, and more! Through hands-on experimentation, they observed how different materials interact with electricity and used their findings to determine which materials allow electricity to flow.

We love seeing our students engaged in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and bring science to life!

We Lead. We Teach. We Love.
