Thursday, November 21st is picture re-take day. Please let your child's teacher know by Wednesday if you would like your child to take a picture re-take. Once they get a retake, the original photo will no longer be available so we'd really like confirmation before allowing students to get a retake.
Additionally, any student who was not enrolled at HES on August 29th and did not have a picture taken, will also get their picture taken on Thursday, November 21st!!


The HHS Book and Cinema Club is hosting its second annual Christmas event at the high school. They would love to have you join them!!


Monday, November 18th will be a School Improvement Early Dismissal Day and students will be dismissed at 2:00 pm. Please ensure students know their dismissal plan.
