Career Day at Perry L. Drew Elementary School
Grace N. Rogers Elementary School fifth-graders read Tani's New Home in Library class and were inspired to learn how to play chess.
An inspiring start to our Title I - College & Career Readiness (CCR) Program! Our luncheon kicked off the program, bringing students and mentors together to enjoy some local food, connect through fun activities, and start building meaningful connections.
For the past few weeks, students have been getting support in ELA, Math, MLL, and additional academic support. They have also been participating in 21st-century workshops, focusing on skill-building, goal-setting, and preparing for life beyond high school.
We're excited to see this program continue to flourish. Here's to a bright future for all our students!
This past Wednesday, the HHS Peer Group Connection class (PGC) was invited to host the board of trustees from the Center for Supportive Schools, a national peer educator program responsible for both the PGC and TeenPep programs offered through HHS.
During the afternoon, our student leaders were able to facilitate dialogue about the importance of peer-to-peer mentoring and participate in a panel discussion about the successes of the program at HHS.
Excellent work by our students and a great way to celebrate 10 years of PGC at Hightstown High School!
