HHS Hawk Community Newsletter

Hawk Community,

The first half of the school year is coming to a close! We are so grateful to the LISD students, staff and community who've made this semester another great one. In this newsletter you'll find stories about how our students have been learning, connecting with one another, and giving back in these last few months. This time of year is full of festivities, celebrations and events, so be sure to check your child's campus calendar as well as the Hebron High School calendar for things happening in your area. We hope you all have a magical holiday break!

We're wishing our Hebron community a wonderful holiday season! Thank you for choosing to partner with us in the education of your student.

We are so grateful for all of the LISD community members who have participated in our Adopt-An-Angel Gift Program. If you didn't have a chance to adopt an angel this year, we still need donations! Your generosity will help make holiday wishes come true for students across our district. To donate, visit LISD.net/AdoptAnAngel or click the button below.

The success of Lewisville ISD’s fine arts programs continued this week with three marching bands placing in the top four at the 2023 6A UIL State Marching Contest.

This is the eleventh-straight contest that an LISD program has finished in the top three of the UIL’s highest class, dating back to 2006. Hebron's third-place performance of "Monomyth, a Hero's Journey" garnered a score of 23, earning top marks for ensemble and design. READ MORE

The LISD STEM Academy at Polser Elementary is home to a talented group of staff members.

Congratulations to the most recent white coat recipients!

• Heather Burgess, Hebron 9 | "I had a very unique situation when I was trying to enroll my kids to Hebron and Ms. Burgess went above and beyond for both of my kids. I was very appreciative of how she took the time to explain everything to me and guided me along the way. Thank you Ms. Burgess."
  

• Kimberly Huneycutt, Arbor Creek Middle School | "While my son doesn't love school or excel in Language Arts he NEVER complains about Ms. Huneycutt's class, and that speaks volumes. I've seen a difference in him this year and I'd like to thank her for recognizing his strengths while holding him to high standards. She shows him grace while giving him opportunities grow and fix his mistakes. My son will rise to the expectations set for him, he'll work to become the student she thinks he can be. Thank you Ms. Huneycutt for truly "seeing" my son and bringing out his best."
  
• Ivette Beauchamp, Independence Elementary School | "My son really struggled the first few weeks and Ms. Beauchamp’s patience and kindness made all the difference. My husband and I are so, SO grateful she is his first teacher and my son LOVES her. In addition to that, I’ve seen my son go from 0 Spanish to full sentences and finally being able to communicate with our Spanish speaking relatives, writing his name and more. We want her to know how much she means to our family."
