Holt High School News and Events

Hello HHS families,

This year our motto for the year is "Here to learn. We hold ourselves and others accountable because we care". Our focus as a school is to ensure that everyone has what they need to learn. That requires both staff and students to hold each other to high standards both academicall and behaviorally.

My goal is to be able to use this newsletter as a place to house information for students and families that can be found in one place.

Senior photos and quotes are due October 30. For a short time, yearbooks will be $80 but will ultimately go up to $90. Get yours sooner than later! www.yearbooknerds.com/holt-high-school.
Wednesday, November 4th - Early Release
Alex Curling will be here at the high school on THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5 during both lunches for FREE SENIOR HEADSHOTS for the yearbook! As far as I know, Alex is not selling packages or anything, these are strictly for the yearbook senior section. These will be traditional portraits, so it makes sense to dress up (at least kind of) for the photo. Again, these are FREE and for yearbook purposes only. Put it on your calendars!

Mentoring 9th grade students

Many of our 9th grade students were able to attend our Ram Crew Orientation in early August. We have also worked to ensure that those mentor relationships with upper classmen continue throughout the year to support our 9th grade students. Twice a month we hold a Ram Time period where groups that were created for the Ram Crew Orientation continue to meet with their upper classmen mentors to support their transition to high school. They focus on all aspects of being a high school student. This program helps support our new students but also helps to build leaders in our upper classmen.
