A Message from the Principal
We have two more days of school!
Thursday and Friday are both half-days with dismissal at 11 AM each day. A copy of the exam schedule can be found below!
As part of the last Friday Morning Lights telecast, the school newspaper The Big Red created an end-of-year montage video. I encourage you to watch it below! I found that it really captured the spirit of the school year.
With this being the last week of school, this will be the last Round Robin for school year 2023-2024. I would like to thank the whole community for their engagement and participation in students' education throughout the year. The more distance we place between the present and the COVID years, the stronger we are becoming as a school and a community.
I look forward to continue to grow along with everyone in the days to come! For now, though, here's to a restful and rejuvenating summer.

Seeking Community Feedback on a "Vision of a Graduate"
As we work together to grow as a school and a community, an important document that can help guide that work is what schools call a "Vision of a Graduate."
This document serves as a compass to direct future instructional, programmatic, and curriculum decisions by identifying skills and attributes that are important for students to have to support their success after high school.
While it is impossible to name every possible individual skill, the vision strives to capture important characteristics we believe all students should possess upon completing our program here at Hudson High.
The following vision has been worked on by the Hudson High School faculty over the last few years, and we are at the point where we would like community feedback before beginning to implement it as a living document in the fall. Click here to see the draft vision, and you can provide your feedback here. Copies of the Vision and Feedback form can also be accessed in Portuguese and Spanish

The diamond is our stage; teamwork is our spotlight!
Congratulations to the Varsity Softball Team for one of the best comeback games in Hawk History last Friday!

The team advances to the division 3 state semi-final today and will take on Apponequet Regional High School at UMASS Dartmouth at 3:00 pm. Come support this amazing team!

HHS Summer Reading
All HHS Students Encouraged to Read
This summer, we encourage all HHS students to read, and to make plans to continue reading throughout the school year. In the fall, English teachers will be expecting students to turn in a reading log that lists what they’ve read - as well as what they plan on reading during the 2024-2025 school year. Students and families can learn all about expectations and access to books at the HHS Summer Reading website.
