2025-26 HTHS Teacher of the Year Announcement
We are pleased to announce Mrs. Lauren Deibert as our 2025-26 Hewitt-Trussville High School Teacher of the Year! Thank you to all of our community members for submitting their nominations. We wish Mrs. Deibert well as she competes at the next level for District Teacher of the Year
You Science Aptitude Testing is Complete!
Students at HTHS have completed the YouScience Brain Games!
YouScience is the only aptitude-based college and career guidance solution available. It lets students take a series of brain game-like exercises to discover their aptitudes and interests and the careers best suited for both. Unlike interest-only college-and-career readiness solutions, YouScience uncovers abilities someone may not have been aware of and careers they’ll excel at but may never have considered.
Students will be learning all about their aptitudes and researching careers in their lunch/study classes. If you would like to start reviewing your child’s results, have your child:
