Clubs - October 28th

Friday, October 28th is our "end of quarter" celebration day. Students will hear a guest speaker, have a virtual awards assembly, participate in clubs, Hero Hangout (sponsored by PTO), and enjoy a pep rally at HBHS Wildcat Stadium. Please avoid checkout on this day.


Clubs are a fun way for teachers to connect to students over hobbies and non-academic interests. Here is a slideshow that lists the kinds of clubs from which students will get to choose. We will have clubs at the end of each quarter.
