Dear Families,
We did it! Our students successfully wrapped up our state testing. Anyone who may have missed a test will have the opportunity for make-up testing this coming week. The guidance office is working hard to ensure that all students have met their testing requirements. Feel free to call with any questions.
Now that testing is done, it's time to sharpen the saw and focus on wrapping up the 2024-2025 school year with a little more fun and a whole lot of celebrating!
Check out all we have going on here at the high school!
What Do You Need To Know?
Science Students Explore COSI
33 Students from Ms. Avery, Mr. Borkow and Ms. Langston's Physical Science classes attended an enrichment day at COSI. 30 students were chosen to attend based on submitted responses that linked the COSI experience to their 3 Es. In addition to seeing dinosaurs and recreations of life on the International Space Station, students had the opportunity to view hundreds of authentic artifacts from the Titanic.
Athlete of the Week
This week was all about Niara Beverly-Akin, one of our seniors on the track & field team. Niara's positive attitude and never-ending drive for improvement sets her apart. She's a great leader and a great example of what it means to be a Ranger. Congratulations, Niara!

ATTENTION SENIORS!
It's Yearbook Time!
Baby all grown up?

Fill out the paper, along with $20 (cash or check made out to Hamilton Local Schools) and deliver the paper to Mrs. Murgatroyd at the high school. Then, email a photo to go along with your well wishes to tmurgatroyd@hlsd.org. All baby ads must be turned in by May 1st.
HLSD Drivers Education Program
