Bronco Bulletin
January 10, 2025
Dear HA Students, Staff, and Families,
As we settle into the new year, I’m proud to share how well our students (and teachers!) have adjusted to being back to school after the recent vacation—our Broncos continue to shine! With the first semester ending in just two weeks, midterm exams are fast approaching, and I encourage everyone to stay focused and finish strong. This week is also packed with excitement as all our athletic teams are in action—be sure to come out and cheer on the Broncos!
Thank you for your continued support, and have a great weekend!
