Sherwood Campus Reopening February 1st!
We are so thrilled to welcome back our hybrid students to in person learning on Monday, February 1st. Masks are one of our most important safety measures. A friendly reminder that all students and staff must wear a mask that is properly fitting and that covers both the mouth and nose.
Please click on the button below for more information regarding student materials that will need to be returned to school.
Wash your hands.
Wear a mask.
Watch your distance.
Stay safe everyone!
Panda Pride,

Students are invited to read in fun & cozy ways including: in their pajamas, with a pet, with a sibling, with a flashlight, with blankets & pillows, wearing mittens and hats, by a fireplace, etc.
PTO Fundraiser!
HPHS Charity Cookie Drive
As you may already know Charity Drive is starting and the Class Council 2021 from Highland Park High School is organizing a fundraising event in collaboration with the Bent Fork bakery.
