WELCOME BACK!
Setting the Tone
Dr. Headen met with each class this morning in the cafeteria and explained his expectations for the 2019-2020 school year. The day started with the senior class (pictured above). The seniors are the leaders of our school and set an example for underclassmen to follow. Their role is so important! Freshmen were welcomed to HGHS and became familiar with our procedures. Sophomores and juniors were reminded of Dr. Headen's expectations as well. We know this is going to be a wonderful, successful school year!
Welcoming Our Freshmen
We always love welcoming freshmen to HGHS on Freshman Night. Freshman Night was held on Monday, August 5th. Dr. Headen reviewed expectations and procedures, and students were introduced to teachers and staff. Students also picked up their class schedules.
