HHS Counselors

Schedules for the fall are now set and no new schedule requests will be considered unless it is to address an error in your SPRING semester schedule. Counselors are now working to balance courses for the spring and course availability is extremely limited.

We have an upcoming opportunity for you to learn more about one of UT Austin’s alternative pathways to enrollment on November 12 at 6:30 p.m. If you are interested in becoming a Longhorn, please see the flyer so you can connect with the Office of Admissions and hear about the Coordinated Admission Program (CAP). Students can register here >

CAP offers students admission to the University contingent upon a successful first semester at another UT System school. It’s a fantastic opportunity for more students to access a UT Austin education, building an academic foundation before joining them on the Forty Acres.

Lewisville ISD will utilize a research-based classroom curriculum to increase awareness of teen depression and anxiety among secondary students. Our mission is to empower students to comfortably and confidently seek help for friends or themselves who may be depressed or suicidal. Click here to access parent information on early mental health intervention. We will be completing these early mental health lessons during our November 12th advisory time with students.

ATTENTION! Students and guardians should complete this registration together. This is a two-step process and both steps MUST be completed in order for your school to order your exams.

  • If you are having trouble accessing your College Board account, you must call College Board directly. Link to College Board Contact Options
• 2nd step is to complete the exam registration on this website: https://user.totalregistration.net/AP/441146

Students taking AP courses/exams at Hebron High School must register here by 3:59pm, November 1, 2024. There is no cost for enrolling in AP courses, but the 2025 AP Exams cost $103 per exam.

Our 1st nine-weeks credit recovery just finished, but our next session begins October 22nd! We will offer a new session every nine-weeks.

Please consider donating a new coat for our district's annual coat drive. These coats help so many students here at Hebron and across the district each year. Please drop your donation in one of the boxes located in the main hallway by the library doors.

Can you help with snacks for the Hawks Helping Hawks Snack/Food Pantry?

As our campus continues to grow and change with time, so do the needs of our students and community. We are seeing an increase in food insecurity (not having access to enough food on a daily basis) on our campus. Hunger impacts the ability of our students to think and process effectively in the class environment. The Hawks Helping Hawks Snack/Food Pantry was created in an effort to support our students and their academic success. If you would like to donate, you can drop snacks off for the counseling department. Here are some suggested items:

• Granola bars, cereal bars
• Crackers (peanut butter, cheese, etc.)
• Breakfast cereals (individual boxes or snack packs)
• Fruit snacks, Fruit Roll Ups, Fruit-by-the-foot
• Cheez-Its, Goldfish, Trail mix (individual packets)
• Chex Mix snack packs (individual packets)

LOVE Pacs is a program that provides food support for families in need over the school/holiday breaks. Depending on the length of the school/holiday break, the support will be in the form of a bag or a box of food. If you would like for your student to receive a LOVE Pac for school/holiday meal support, please contact your student’s counselor.
