This Week at HHS

Principal’s Message

HHS Community,

I’d like to start by thanking everyone for a wonderful job of handling the special keystone exam schedules last week. Our student body responded like champions to these changes. From our start in August until this point in January we’ve come a long way. This week students and teachers will be wrapping up their courses, putting the finishing touches on any culminating projects, and some of our students will still be completing Keystone Exams. Thursday, is the last day of the first semester. On Thursday, we will gather in the PAC for an assembly to discuss course selection, review rules/expectations, and to highlight upcoming events that students have planned for HHS. Friday, we will start our second semester courses.

Friday will be a normal early dismissal schedule. We had originally planned to hold a First Friday pep-rally this day, but have decided to postpone the event, so that students may focus on transitioning into their new classes and begin the second semester strong. WIN periods, and Lunches for the new semester will be added to PowerSchool on Wednesday. As a reminder, we do not change schedules for lunches. Lunches are determined by the 3^rd period course. Please do not reach out to your counselor about your lunch.

Thank you and have a wonderful week!
~Dr. Brossman
