The Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School District is excited to announce the launch of a new website platform that plans to focus on student stories. The District will be launching the new website on November 1st to accommodate an exciting new live feed capability, which will allow us to share in "real-time". This website will be the driving force in the larger effort to highlight the achievements that take place every day across the district. This technology is designed with both families and school leaders in mind.

This effort is in partnership with Apptegy, an education technology company. The company created Thrillshare, a marketing platform that empowers teachers, students, and administrators to share stories of growth in the district.

This new website will be a one-stop-shop for all of the District's content.
