This Week at HHS

Principal’s Message

HHS Community,

            Our students did a great job with their Keystone exams last week and with navigating our special schedules. We will continue with Keystone testing and our special testing schedules on Monday & Tuesday this week. 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 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 1^st 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.

            I’d also like to thank everyone who came out for the Grief Session and/or College 101 session last week. Both sessions received positive reviews from those who attended. Our HHS Counseling team has truly been ALL IN on finding ways to support our students and families. With the school year coming to a close, if you would like to recognize a staff member for being ALL IN or going above and beyond you can nominate them HERE, and we will recognize them at our faculty meeting.

            Finally, we have 12 school days remaining in the semester. Two of these days we have Keystone testing schedules, and three of the days are early dismissal schedules. Therefore, students only have seven regular schedule days this semester to handle all their business and to finish strong. Please help encourage your student to be where they are supposed be, when they’re supposed to be there, doing what they’re supposed to be doing, to the best of their ability, and with consistency.

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

~Dr. Brossman

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 12^th 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.

There is an informational meeting on Wednesday, May 21, for any high school student interested in running cross country next year. The meeting will take place at Hempfield High School in LG1 from 3:15-4 p.m. Meet the team and coaches and learn about summer training.

No prior experience is required. 

Who Should Attend: Community members who are working with youth in the grieving process, families that are going through the grieving process, or people who have experienced a recent loss or those that anticipate a loss. 

Tuesday, May 13 from 6:30 – 8 p.m. @ Hempfield High School. Enter by the Franklin Office, off of Stanley Avenue, Door A4.
