Mission

"Seaford Senior High School's mission is to instill in our students a sense of pride through excellence, enabling them to be good citizens, contributing members of society, and to successfully compete in a global economy."

Academics

Students can choose from an array of academic courses from college-prep to Advanced Placement to prepare them for the college/university of their choosing. Teachers on the secondary level use the curriculum mapping process to align their content with the Delaware Content Standards, articulate instruction from grades 6–12, and coordinate assignments at each grade level.

For the graduating class of 2010, students taking the SAT scored an average of 474 in math and 460 in verbal for a combined score of 934.[1] This is compared with averages of 482+479=961 throughout the state and 516+501=1017 nationally.[2]

Athletics

All Seaford School District teams compete in the Henlopen Conference in middle school and high school sports. Seaford High School is one of the smallest schools in the conference, based on enrollment, and thereby competes in the Henlopen South.
