Join Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Norrell and the administrative team to discuss how HF is preparing students for life after high school. This event will begin with a keynote message followed by breakout sessions. Learn about Career Pathways, IB, AP, Dual Credit, Honors, Internships, new bell schedule and student supports.

This event is primarily for parents of incoming freshmen and rising sophomores and juniors, however parents of rising seniors are also welcome to attend. We hope to see you there in the Auditorium (South Building, Enter Door 9).

Internships at HF = real experience, real skills, real stories: This student-driven video highlights HF internship programs from the student perspective and was produced by HF Communications Intern Sheyenne alongside the HF Communications Department. Take a look at learning in action! With Career Pathways beginning next year, we are expanding these real-world opportunities for students!

HF New Faces Production is a performance that specifically casts Freshmen, Sophomores, and any Upperclassmen who have been in 2 or less productions. This year's production is LOST GIRL by Kimberly Belflower.

Long after returning from Neverland, Wendy Darling realizes she never truly moved on from the adventure or the promises of “the boy who wouldn’t grow up.” Poetic, funny, and heartbreaking, LOST GIRL reimagines the world beyond Peter Pan, weaving a rich tapestry of storytelling about memory, agency, and what it means to choose yourself after the magic fades. It is the story of the girl who had to grow up, and the woman she becomes because of it.

Join us in the Performing Arts Center (South Building, enter Door 9) on Thursday, February 19th and Friday, February 20th at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, February 21st at 3 p.m. *Most suitable for audiences 14+
