New Course Offerings for 25-26

There are three new courses that will be offered next year that were not advertised to students during the scheduling process. If your student is interested in participating in one of the following courses next year, please have them check their email for a message from Mrs. Cantlon with a form for them to fill out expressing their interest.

* AP Environmental Science (10, 11, 12) - FULL YEAR -- AP Environmental Science is a course based on content established and copyrighted by the College Board. The course is not intended to be used as a dual credit course. Students enrolled in AP Environmental Science investigate the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them.

* Photography (9, 10, 11, 12) - ONE SEMESTER - Photography is a course based on the Indiana Academic Standards for Visual Art. Students in photography engage in sequential learning experiences that encompass art history, art criticism, aesthetics, and production and lead to the creation of portfolio quality works, creating photographs, films, and videos utilizing a variety of digital tools. They reflect upon and refine their work; explore cultural and historical connections; analyze, interpret, theorize, and make informed judgments about artwork and the nature of art; relate art to other disciplines and discover opportunities for integration; and incorporate literacy and presentational skills. Students utilize the resources of art museums, galleries, and studios, and identify art related careers.

* Etymology (11) - ONE SEMESTER - SAT/ACT PREP CLASS FOR JUNIORS - Etymology, a language studies course based on the Indiana Academic Standards for English/Language Arts, is the study and application of the derivation of English words and word families from their roots in ancient and modern languages (Latin, Greek, Germanic, and Romance Languages). Students analyze meanings of English words by examining roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Students analyze the connotative and denotative meaning of words in a variety of contexts and the reasons for language change. Students write about word history and semantics in texts that require etymological sensitivity, such as Renaissance poetry or works in translation.

This past Friday, the Hamilton Heights Jazz Band traveled to Kokomo High School to perform in the ISSMA Jazz Contest. The group earned a GOLD RATING while receiving multiple outstanding soloist awards. Recipients of this award include: Cole Martin (3), Maddy Lustig, Nicole Eberhard, Micah White, and Luke Lively. Congrats to the entire group!

This past Saturday, the Heights Indoor Percussion traveled to Westfield High School to compete in an IPA Invitational. The group placed 1st overall in Class A “Movement”. Next weekend they will compete at Noblesville High School at 6:48p. Congratulation to all members and continued success.

You can check out their performance here!

The 2026 HHHS International Trip to Munich, Prague, and Krakow during Spring Break next year. This Holocaust Remembrance tour will focus on visiting concentration camps and other Holocaust memorials and historical sites, including Dachau Concentration Camp, Terezin Concentration Camp, and Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. This will be a small group trip with limited spots. Due to the intense nature of this trip, it will be open to current sophomores and juniors first. Parents may join a waitlist for any unfilled slots, but we cannot guarantee availability, and priority will be given to students. The base cost of the trip is $4,353. Questions? Contact Mrs. Monnin (kmonnin@hhschuskies.org)

Any junior or senior interested in participating in Purpose Paradigm, please use this Google Form to sign up. This is a great opportunity for students to dive deeper into their strengths as a person and start to learn more about themselves as they look towards the future!

This opportunity will be during SRT's on Thursday on the following dates: April 17, April 24, May 1, and May 8. Classroom location will be announced closer to time.

HHSC is fortunate to have a local community member, Megan Moore-Stevens, come in and share her expertise with the Medicaid system in Indiana. Any parent or guardian that has a child or family member with a disability would benefit from the information discussed in this meeting. The process for things such as a Family Supports Waiver, Community Integration Habilitation Waiver, Guardianship or Supported Decision Making paperwork can be very confusing and at times a difficult process. This meeting will empower individuals with the knowledge to make informed and appropriate decisions.
