Congratulations to the students who have demonstrated outstanding academic excellence! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to learning have truly paid off and set a wonderful example for your peers. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and the perseverance you have shown throughout the terms. The Academic Excellence ceremony will take place on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 @ 6:00 pm. An invitation will be sent to the students who meet criteria from Dean Green-Lee.

Juniors and Sophomores, be prepared to meet one-on-one with your counselor soon to review transcripts and ensure you are on track to graduate on time with your Class of 2027 and 2028 cohorts!

In Texas, high school students are required to attend school and must be present at least 90% of the time to receive credit for a course. Students can be truant if they have three or more unexcused absences in a four-week period or seven or more in a six-month period, with penalties for both students and parents. Excused absences are for reasons like illness, death in the family, or school-sponsored activities, and are generally defined by the school district. This rule still applies to students with an IEP or Section 504 plan.

Have you heard about our YES (Youth In Service) Program? It thrives on promoting student participation and contribution to a wide variety of community services. The purpose of the program is to encourage a lifelong interest in volunteering. View the link for more information. HHS Y.E.S. Program Link
