Hawk News 4/11/2025

Next week, our 9th and 10th grade students will be taking their English I and II EOC STAAR exams. It’s essential that they come to school well-rested and with fully charged Chromebooks, ready to give their best. Our incredible ELA team has gone above and beyond to prepare them, and I want to sincerely thank them for their hard work and commitment to student success.

We’re also just 46 days away from graduation, and now more than ever, we need our seniors to stay locked in. Every assignment matters, and we want every student to walk the stage—no surprises, no regrets. It might be tempting to slow down, but that’s not how we do things at HHS.

Enjoy the sunshine this weekend, take a deep breath, and maybe we’ll all feel a little more balanced once this full moon passes.

The Anonymous Alerts is an anti-bullying and safety app reporting system that helps combat bullying and other negative activity in schools by empowering students to speak up. Social and peer pressure are some of the hardest obstacles for students to overcome. Students or parents can submit reports such as bullying, cyber bullying, depression, dating violence, drug or alcohol use, threats against the school, weapons on campus, and more.

The system allows for 1-way or 2-way anonymous encrypted communications between the submitters (students, parents, or community members) and District administration and/or school staff. Users of the system have the option to remain anonymous or reveal their identity when submitting a report.

We are changing photo companies for senior portraits and underclassmen pictures next year to Photo Texas. This change will include on campus senior portraits during the school day next fall. If you want to schedule an appointment at the studio, you can. Information will be coming soon about that. Our former company, Cady, has been sending out info about scheduling senior portraits. You do not need to schedule with them unless you want to use them for personal portraits. Sorry for any confusion on that.
