Focus On Education

Emotions were high on Tuesday morning as our graduating seniors visited the school buildings they grew up in...from The Early Learning Center to Hobart Middle School, they got a chance to bid farewell to the buildings and teachers that helped shape them! It was, indeed, a very special moment for the Class of 2024!

On Thursday morning, Hobart High School celebrated its state-bound track athletes with a send-off parade! Best of luck to Cailey, Taylor, Willy, and the HHS Unified Track Team as they compete in the IHSAA State Track and Field Tournament tomorrow and Saturday! We are so proud of all of you!
