HHS Principal's Update: Week 7
Thursday, September 22nd
Good Evening HHS Students and Families,
We are excited that Semester 1 activities are kicking into high gear. Our athletic teams are performing great on the fields and courts, our activities are fully immersed in performances and competitions, and our students are doing great in the classroom. Next week is a very special week as HHS celebrates our Homecoming! Homecoming is much more than a football game. Homecoming allows us to celebrate all that is positive about our great campus as we show pride in everything we do! We will honor alumni as we hold our HOF induction, we will celebrate all fall athletes during the pep rally, we will have a great evening at the Homecoming Dance, and we do have a great football game in store against EHS! Don't miss out on the game as we have ALOT of to celebrate at our halftime celebration. We guarantee you will love our halftime show featuring our band and special guests. Bulldogs, keep up the positivity on campus and show our HHS PRIDE as we move into our 2nd month of school next week.
Have a great weekend,
Charles Dunn
Your Principal
