Closing out 2024 - Looking Forward to 2025!
As we close out 2024, we are excited to see what 2025 has in store for us at HHS! The hard work by students and staff each and every day is encouraging and helping to instill an excitement for what is to come. When we return from break, the real fun starts as we prep for our first semester exams, transition to new electives for some students, and the rush to get to the end of the year seems to come more quickly each year. There are many exciting things coming in 2025! We hope you all are able to enjoy a break in the action. Happy Holidays to all of the Bengals out there!
In addition, we will lead you into the break with a check on what will be happening in our CTE, Fine Arts, World Languages, and Special Education/Student Services courses to wrap up the first semester.
