PRINCIPAL GREETING

Once again, we warmly welcome students, full of hopes and dreams. Major changes were demanded of schools and society due to Covid-19 over the past few years. Although, we have struggled with the need for masks and vaccines, the light at the end of the tunnel is in view, so let us continue to take responsibility for our actions.

We at Shigakukan are proud to assist our students realize their dreams. We have departments: General, Home Management, and Business, for each of our diverse group of students to realize their full potential.

Furthermore, we support club activities and numerous school events, to ensure each of our students accomplish an abundant high school life.
