Last Day of School Message to Students

Posted by Bill Brossman on 6/4/2025 1:00:00 PM

HHS Community,

Below is the message that I shared with students at the end of the school day today. 

Thank you for supporting our students throughout the 2024-2025 school year. 

 

Good Afternoon Hempfield,

I just wanted to take a moment to share that I am thankful for each and every one in this building.

On the first day of school, I shared with you that our theme for this year would be ALL IN. After years of disruption and uncertainty, this wasn’t just a slogan. It was a mindset. A challenge. A call to action. And throughout this year you answered that call.

ALL IN means showing up—not just in body, but in heart, in mind, and in purpose. It means taking risks even when the outcome is uncertain. It means giving your best effort, not halfway, but fully. You did that—in your own way, every day.

As we break for the summer, I urge you to continue to be ALL IN for yourselves and remember that mediocrity is the enemy of progress. Be sure to take some time for yourself this summer to grow, to explore, to mature, to make new friends, and to move on from friendships you’ve outgrown.

However, you spend your time this summer, be it…at a job, a summer camp, preparing for your sports season, practicing an instrument, taking a vacation, watching over your siblings or just relaxing. Remember the commitment you’ve made this year. You’ve shown what it means to give your best effort, to be fully committed, and to show up for yourselves and each other. Keep that same energy alive. Whatever you do, go ALL IN.

Thank you for all that you’ve done to help make Hempfield an amazing place. We are so excited to see what you have in store for us next year. As you go about your summer, please be safe, make good decisions, hug your loved ones, and we will see you back here at HHS in August.
