The school year has come to an end and the senior class of Saipan International School are up and ready to continue their journey to a new life. The dreams to become civil servants, business owners, engineers, teachers, architects, etc. are slowly becoming a reality for many of the students. College is a big step to achieving these dreams and the majority, if not all, of the senior students have decided on what college/university they will attend. Please Congratulate the students who have been admitted to their colleges.

Colleges come in many shapes and sizes, populated with multiple different ethnic groups. As the senior class enters a new world and new environment, they will learn a whole new different aspect in life. Already having plans for the future and already decided on a college, the seniors are up and ready to become adults.

Ms Marianas

The 8th Grade Class, in partnership with the Central Asia Institute, have culminated today the Pennies for Peace Program in commemoration of World Diversity Day. The Pennies for Peace Program encourages any individual or group of individuals in building peace, one penny at a time. The proceeds of the collected pennies from our school will help the literacy program for children caught in the middle of the war zone in Middle East. Thank you #sisgeckos for your generosity.
