While our staff have been busy preparing for the return of our beloved students, some just returned from an educator trip to Dzeleka Refugee Camp in Malawi, Africa. Phillip Matthews(HHS), Tammi Hossink(Park), April Palmbos(Bauer), and Jessie Palmbos(10th grade HHS) spent a week running a children's program, a seminar about trauma-informed teaching, and workshops on behavior management, learning styles, and gauging student learning. Way to go! #fireupgoeagles

Three cheers for 40 years! Jill Elenbaas started at HPS working summers in the office/custodial. She then went full-time as one of two administrative assistants at the high school. Jill was initially in charge of athletics, the guidance office, and attendance. As the district grew and positions were added, Jill chose the athletics office as her home away from home. She is always wearing her best smile. Thank you for all you do for our student-athletes, Jill! #fireupgoeagles

We have a new school resource officer this year. Deputy White will be assisting primarily with our middle and elementary schools. A West Michigan native, he is a HUGE baseball fan and indicated the Red Sox are his favorite team. When asked what his walk-up song would be he went with "Voices Inside My Head" by The Police. Welcome Deputy White! #fireupgoeagles
