  • HHS Yearbook Update

    Posted by Kelly Burkholder on 5/14/2025 3:00:00 PM

    The 24-25 HHS yearbook, ‘Capture the Moment,’ has shipped. Some students may receive their book in the mail in the next few days. Other students may not get their books for a couple of weeks. With that in mind, we are asking students who purchased their books online to be patient. If you have not received your book by June 2, a process will be announced to make sure all students who ordered books receive a book. We also ordered a limited number of extra copies of the yearbook. These copies will be available for sale in the 12th grade office (room 169) during 3A and 3D and during WIN for $75 until supplies run out. You are allowed to drop off the money before the books arrive to reserve a book.

  • This Week at HHS

    Posted by Bill Brossman on 5/11/2025 12:00:00 PM

    This Week at HHS

     

    Principal’s Message

    Happy Mother’s Day!

     

    HHS Community,

                On Saturday night the Class of ’25 showed up as the best versions of themselves for a fabulous Great Gatsby-themed prom at the Eden Resort. Dinner, dancing, and memories made with friends highlighted the evening. It’s hard to believe graduation is just 24 days away! Parents/guardians be sure to familiarize yourself with the commencement information available on our website HERE.

     

    Scoring proficient or advanced on the Keystone Exams is the clearest and easiest pathway to graduation. HHS will be administering Keystone Exams this week for students enrolled in Algebra 1B, Biology, or English 10.  We will be running special schedules for Keystone exams from Thursday, May 15th through Tuesday, May 20th. We will use the same format as we used in January. Students who are not testing do not need to be in school during the testing window.

    Non-testing students should plan to arrive by 10:00am in order to be on time for the start of their Pd1 class, which will begin at 10:05am. Non-testing students should enter HHS through the rear cafeteria entrance next to the pre-school playground or the Main Franklin Entrance starting at 9:45am. Students will remain in the Café until testing is complete.

    During these four days, all bus transportation will operate as normal. Any student who needs transportation to school should ride their bus as usual. We will take daily attendance in 1st period after 10:05AM. Breakfast will be served as usual from 7:20-7:40AM. There will be no breakfast served for students arriving after 7:40am. All special schedules are posted in the Schoology calendar.

     

    Thank you for all that you do to support our students and have a wonderful week!

     

    ~Dr. Brossman
