HMS Principal Update

Hello HMS Families,

I hope you had an excellent week. We had a wonderful event yesterday at HMS. Thank you to the students, staff and parents who planned the No Place For Hate event. It was well received by our students. A survey will be going out next week in order to collect data from those who attended. We have many upcoming events, please take a few moments to read through the update below. Have a great weekend!

Respectfully,

Kyle Grady
