Hartford High Lites

During the past few months Hartford High School students, through multiple classes, have created relationships and partnerships with some of our elementary school students. These opportunities benefit all who are involved as the younger students gain mentors and the high school students are able to see themselves in a very different role as they interact with these children.

On Thursday, Nov. 6 Hartford's chapter of Hope Happens Here prepared and provided free breakfast for students and staff. This is just one example of the ways this student-run organization is serving our community.

Tuesday, Nov. 11 the school distrrict is closed in observance of Veteran's Day.

Nov. 14, 15, and 16 Hartford High School's Musical, Nice Work If You Can Get It, performances. There are limited tickets available.

Thanksgiving break is Wednesday, Nov. 26 through Friday, Nov. 28.

As we prepare for the Thanksgiving break please let us know if you need support with food for the break there are a number of local efforts in place to support those who have food scarcity. One of these happens on our campus. The Haven's annual Thanksgiving meal give-away will occur on Saturday, Nov. 22. Additionally:
