At Auburn High School, we believe in celebrating the positive. That’s why we’ve launched our Shining Moments- Positive Call Home Program.
Each week, our staff reaches out to families to share good news, big or small, about the amazing things our students are doing. Whether it’s showing leadership in class, improving their grades, or being a great friend, we want families to hear about the moments that make Auburn a great place to learn and grow.
When a student is recognized, their Shining Moment will also be highlighted through our school’s communications platform so our whole community can celebrate together.
We’re proud of our Knights, and we’re excited to connect school and home in this positive way. Thank you for sharing your student with us, they are what makes Auburn shine.
