National School Librarian Day is April 4th, and HTHS is grateful for our amazing librarian Laura Massey! She and Dana Coats foster a love of reading in our students. Thank you for your tireless dedication to our students, faculty, and staff.

Congratulations to Dena DeChellis for being selected as the recipient of March's Raindrop Car Wash "Leading the Pack" Award!

The Alabama State Department of Education and the Alabama Department of Public Health

require that school districts in Alabama offer and provide scoliosis screening for male and

female students in grades 5 through 9.

Freshman students with a consent form submitted will be screened at school during the week

of April 6-10. The students will be pulled from class for the screening during lunch study periods

when possible.

Please see the attached consent form for more information

The last day to submit a pre-arranged absence form is April 10th.

HTHS Senior Haley Fogg and Junior Colby Rankins!

Earning one of FNL’s 9-week internships is no easy feat. Haley and Colby stood out among many applicants, successfully navigating a multi-step interview process to earn these highly competitive spots. We are so proud of their hard work and accomplishment!

Please congratulate Haley and Colby when you see them! 😊

On Thursday, the Fine Arts Department recognized HTHS Seniors who have received scholarships, are majoring in Fine Arts fields, or have plans to participate in the arts at their respective colleges. We are so proud of these students! As one student put it, "The arts are fundamental to what it means to be human." We can't wait to see where these Huskies' talents take them in the future!

It was a wonderful evening of entertainment at the HTHS Indoor Percussion Ensemble friends and family show. Please wish this wonderful group of students good luck this weekend as they travel to Atlanta, GA to compete at GIPA Championships!

Big wins for the HTHS Mountain Biking Team!
