I recognize I need to communicate frequently with parents, however it is difficult to reach each of you regularly.  We have developed this part of the web site to provide immediate access to information related to Humboldt Senior High School. 

If you would like to speak to me about a question or concern, please call me at 651.293.8600 ext. 1017 or email me at michael.sodomka@spps.org
