The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) has been successfully operating on HST for over 20 years, providing FUV, NUV, and optical data to the astronomical community. STIS has a wide range of capabilities including imaging, low to high resolution spectroscopy, coronagraphy, and long-slit spatial scanning on the CCD with many various observational modes. We present the latest updates and highlights of STIS, discuss the re-delivery of CCD super-biases and super-darks starting from mid-March 2019 and present current work on a Python-based defringing tool for STIS CCD observations. This is valuable information for past, current, and potential HST STIS users.
