Sullivan High School

Schedule Change: Monday's HS Girls Golf scramble @ Charleston that was cancelled will be rescheduled to next Monday 8/25

🏐 SULLIVAN VOLLEYBALL YARD SIGNS 🏐

Show your Sullivan school spirit and support our volleyball program with a personalized yard sign. Yard signs are available for any volleyball player in grades 6–12 and will feature your player’s name. The cost is $30 per sign, and all orders must be submitted by August 25.

Orders can be placed for your sign by email to Coach Grooms at groomsh@sullivan.k12.il.us. Checks should be made payable to Sullivan Volleyball Program, and payments can be turned in at the high school or middle school office.

Let’s fill our community with red and black this season and show our players how much Sullivan is behind them.

Schedule Change: Due to anticipated heat, the HS Girls Golf match at Charleston on Monday has been cancelled. It will not be made up

Preview Night is this Friday, then sports really kick into high gear!

🏐 Support Squad Showdown = SUCCESS! 🏐 What a night! The Underclassman Support Squad took the first match, but the Upperclassman Volleyball Players stormed back to win the second — sealing it with a last-minute “Win It All” card! We saw sneaky talent, plenty of hilarious moments, and just enough friendly competition to keep everyone on their toes. Best of all, no ambulances were needed — so we’ll call that a win! Some support squad members might be sporting a few extra bruises and ice packs tomorrow, but all in the name of supporting our players. ❤️ Thank you to everyone who came out, cheered, donated, and made this fundraiser a huge success! 📅 Mark your calendars: • Preview Night – Friday, August 22 • Opening Night vs. Meridian – Monday, August 25 at HOME #SullivanVolleyball #SupportSquadShowdown #GoRedskins

Hard to believe this is the last Friday without football for a long while!
