Mr. Covert's Musings

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! This week was a wonderful celebration of our OUTSTANDING teachers at HHS. I can't possibly put into words how grateful I am for our teachers. They are the hardest working staff in the state of Maryland. Each day, they plan and deliver outstanding lessons for your students. On top of their daily lessons, they are advising clubs, coaching teams, and serving as mentors. Our teachers are one of the main reasons why Hereford High is such a special school. Thank you Hereford High Teachers!!


Also, a big thank you goes out to the PTSA and community members who helped with donations to celebrate our teachers this week!

Trout in the Classroom

Students from AP Environmental Science, Earth Systems, and the HOPE Club partnered with Maryland DNR and Trout Unlimited to raise trout from eggs to fingerlings. Throughout the year, students collected and recorded chemical and physical data, using it to analyze tank health, monitor mortality rates, and troubleshoot issues to ensure the trout survived. On Friday, May 1, students traveled to Jerusalem Mills to release the rainbow trout they had spent the year studying.
