Hansen Jr/Sr High Principal Update

What an incredible start to the 2026–27 school year! These first two weeks have set such a positive tone at Hansen Jr./Sr. High School. Our students are learning, engaged, asking questions, building relationships, and already doing some amazing things in and out of the classroom. I continue to be impressed by the energy our teachers and staff bring each day and, most importantly, by how excited they are to support our students as they learn, grow, and find success.

There is also plenty to celebrate! A huge Husky Howl to Mr. Lasso for his work that helped bring the $5,000 T-Mobile Friday Night 5G Lights award to Hansen Football. We are also celebrating our Husky Football team for bringing the Wagon Wheel back home! These accomplishments are even more meaningful because of the incredible support surrounding our students. Thank you to our families, students, staff, fans, and community members who continue to show up, cheer loudly, and demonstrate what it means to be part of the Husky family.

I also want to make sure our families and community have a voice in the work we are doing at Hansen. I am looking for parents, guardians, and community members who would like to be part of a Principal Advisory Committee, an informal opportunity to meet with me, share perspectives and ideas, ask questions, and provide feedback about our school. Our first meeting will be September 9 at 5:15 PM, right before the home volleyball game. I would love to have a variety of voices at the table as we continue working together to make Hansen the best it can be for our students!

This week's Principal Update is packed with information about what's happening at Hansen! You'll find upcoming September and October dates, athletic schedules and student-section theme days, PBIS updates and celebrations, opportunities to support our Huskies, and other important school happenings. We have a busy fall ahead of us, and I hope you'll join us for as many activities as you can.

We are excited to celebrate a $5,000 award from T-Mobile through the Friday Night 5G Lights program! This is an incredible investment in our football program and our students—and we want our entire Husky community there to celebrate!

Join us on September 18 at halftime as T-Mobile presents the $5,000 check to Hansen. And come ready for some fun because the student section theme is BEACH DAY! 🏖️🌴☀️ Break out the Hawaiian shirts, leis, sunglasses, and beach gear and help us fill the stands with Husky spirit!

A huge THANK YOU to our students, families, fans, and community members who supported Hansen and helped make this possible. Let’s pack the stands and celebrate this win together!

We are excited to see our PBIS program continuing to grow and positively impact the culture at Hansen Jr/Sr High! Our Tier 2 team meets bi-weekly to identify and support students who may need additional interventions, while our Tier 1 team meets monthly to strengthen schoolwide systems and celebrate positive behavior.

Students are earning Husky Bucks for demonstrating our PBIS values: Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn. They can save their Bucks for rewards, including our first Extended Lunch on September 17! Students who want to participate can redeem 20 Husky Bucks on September 16.

We have also started handing out Husky Howls to recognize students who go above and beyond. These recognitions will be sent home so families can celebrate too! At this month's PBIS assembly, every student who has received a Husky Howl will be entered into our Cash Grab for a chance to win some fun prizes. And the celebrations have already started—five students earned Fizz Farm today!

We love seeing our students recognized for the positive choices they make every day. Keep it up, Huskies!

The Hansen School District, working collaboratively with all stakeholders, will develop the skills and qualities necessary to create lifelong learners and productive citizens.

The Hansen School District staff is committed to seeing each student experience success and graduate from high school. It is our intent to have students enroll in postsecondary education or productively enter the workforce to pursue their career aspirations immediately following high school graduation.

At Hansen Jr/Sr High School we believe:

• respectful relationships are key in and out of the classroom.
• educators will foster an environment where diversity is celebrated, passion is nurtured, and every day is filled with joy, laughter, and acceptance of all.
• educators will hold high expectations to inspire growth and achievement while demonstrating grace, understanding, and support of all students and colleagues.
