HMS Hiller Heads-Up

Growing an active community of strong minds and kind hearts.

While we try to maintain as welcoming an environment as possible, we would like to remind you that students are not permitted to remain on school grounds unsupervised after school hours. If students stay after school, they must either be participating in a club activity or under the supervision of a teacher.

We ask that you please ensure your child is either attending a scheduled club or activity or has made arrangements with a teacher if they tell you they are staying after school. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Parents of the Class of 2029,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Evan Bishop, the principal at HHS and I would like to invite you to our upcoming 8th Grade Parent Night on Thursday, March 27 at Hopkinton High School. This event is for parents only and begins at 6:30 pm in the high school athletic center.

Parents and guardians will have a chance to hear from administrators, students, and subject matter leaders about the high school experience. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions, learn about the transition from 8th to 9th grade, and see how to sign up for courses at the high school.

We look forward to meeting you in a few weeks!

Go Hillers,

Evan Bishop
High School Principal
