The White House Student Film Festival:
A quote from the article by Catherine on filmmaking:
"I adore cinema and will continue to learn all I can about movies," said Catherine. "Your passion is what drives you and your work ethic is what determines your success. I have the desire and the strong work ethic to make filmmaking my career."

Sports Update:
Hello Hilltoppers!
Thursday, February 2, is our rivalry game against Heritage. It is also Senior Night, we will be celebrating our seniors! This game is sure to bring out the crowds and we are expecting to be at capacity in both gyms. Unfortunately, we will probably have to turn away fans- once we have met capacity. Parents of our senior’s need to arrive early. Everyone needs to find a seat in the stands, standing will not be permitted as per the fire marshall.
Parking- Once parking has become full in the gym/teachers lot and the spaces in front of Entrance #1 have been filled, we will start to use the Langhorne Road parking lot. Please do not park in the fire lane or remove cones.
