Dear Families,
Welcome back for what we know will be a successful year! It's hard to believe it, but we've completed half of our school year already. Quarters 3 & 4 tend to fly by, so we want to encourage all of our students to remain focused, present, and engaged. There are so many events and activities that happen this semester. In order for students to be part of that, they must be mindful of having good attendance. Please support your student in ensuring they are here at school so that they can be part of it all.
Here are our updates for this week!
Frozen Cast & Crew
Congratulations to this year's cast and crew! We are beyond excited to watch these students take centerstage to bring Elsa and Anna to life—and Olaf too. Stay tuned for ticket information! This is one show you don't want to miss!
ACT Testing for Juniors
On Wednesday, March 18, 2026 we are pleased to offer the ACT to all juniors, at no cost! Students attending the Career Centers will test at the Career Center, not at HT. Please look for communication from the EFCTS regarding their specific testing plans.
Why is taking the ACT beneficial?
The ACT is more than just a college entrance exam. Taking the test can provide several benefits for your student, including:
College Admissions: Most colleges and universities use ACT scores for admission decisions.
Scholarship Opportunities: A strong ACT score can make students eligible for a wide range of academic scholarships from colleges, universities, and private organizations.
Course Placement: Colleges often use ACT scores to place students in appropriate freshman-level courses, such as English and mathematics.
Career and Educational Planning: The ACT provides valuable information about a student's academic strengths, which can help guide their future career and educational choices.
Jersey Mike's Athlete of the Week
Congratulations to our first recognized athlete of 2026! Emarie Summerville dominates on the indoor track. Her work ethic, dedication, and drive have her crossing that finish line with speedy success. We are so proud of her and all that she has accomplished.
Green and gold is represented to its finest with Emarie!

The Importance of Attendance
At Hamilton Township High School, showing up matters. One of the most important factors in a student’s success—both in and out of the classroom—is regular attendance.
Academic Success
Students who attend school consistently are more likely to keep up with coursework, understand lessons fully, and earn higher grades. Missing just a few days can make it hard to catch up and creates gaps in learning.
Extra-Curricular Opportunities
Strong attendance connects students to the full high school experience. From athletics to band, cheer, choir, and clubs, students must maintain good attendance to participate and perform at their best. Being present also helps build friendships, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Post-Secondary Readiness
Colleges, employers, and the military all value reliability and responsibility. A strong attendance record demonstrates commitment, dependability, and time management—qualities that open doors for future opportunities.
Starting Strong Matters
The beginning of the school year sets the tone. Students who establish good attendance habits early are more likely to maintain them throughout the year, which leads to long-term success. Every day in class counts, especially during the opening weeks when routines, expectations, and relationships are being built.
