HTHS Newsletter

This month, our school is proud to present a breathtaking and heartfelt tribute to the military heroes connected to our very own student body and faculty/staff members. Our talented media specialist, Mr. Chad Summers, a has meticulously crafted a stunning Veterans' Slideshow, transforming submitted photos and memories into an emotional and beautiful presentation that honors the sacrifices and service of the veterans in our families. This visual salute is more than just a presentation--it's a profound THANK YOU from our entire community to all those that have served.

Each month, Faculty and Staff send out “shout outs” to their fellow colleagues for the amazing work they have done or the incredible spirit they displayed. It is featured in our “The Week Ahead Newsletter." All the featured staff are then placed into a drawing. One name emerges each month for the "Leading the Pack" honor, along with a fantastic prize courtesy of Raindrop Car Wash. A huge round of applause for Jill Joganic!

Also, thank you to Raindrop Car Wash for their generous sponsorship of this new and exciting award.

Stay tuned each month as we celebrate more deserving Faculty and Staff Members!
