May is Mental Health Awareness month. The HHS Counseling team have organized a Black Knights Unite MH awareness week. The goal is to start to break the stigma surrounding MH and raise awareness that MH is important to talk about!

This Week at HHS

 

Principal’s Message

 

 HHS Community,

            Here We Go! Bring on May. We only have five short weeks remaining in the 2024-2025 school year, and this is our last uninterrupted week. As the weather gets warmer and the distractions increase, we need our students to continue to do their best in their classes, follow all school rules, including the dress code, show up to school on time, and finish the year strong. We have had a tremendous school year, and our students continue to be ALL IN for Hempfield High School. With the faith, love, and support of our families and community, we look forward to ending this school year on a high note.

            Between now and the last day of school, our students still have so much to accomplish. In our few remaining weeks, our students will take Advanced Placement Exams, Keystone Exams, attend awards ceremonies, perform in numerous musical concerts, and our spring sports teams will compete in their respective post-seasons. If you’re a student, now is NOT the time to take your foot off the gas. Now is the time to buckle down and say, “I can do hard things.” We look forward to seeing our students continue to thrive and rise to the occasion.

           

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

 

~Dr. Brossman
