Hello, Hawks:

Tomorrow is Prom! Wow. Things are moving fast. I met with Seniors yesterday, and I cannot believe we're just a few weeks away from graduating the Class of 2025. This is a special group for me. Okay, they're all special, so maybe I should say "unique." We started at HHS together four years ago! They have been a fun group to work with. For Senior students and families, I will be sending ALL of your information in a special Scoop every Tuesday starting next week.

I know that surveys can take a tremendous amount of time, but our district would really appreciate your feedback after the latest levy failure. Please click here to complete the survey if you haven't done so already. Thank you!

Also, we could use support in Concessions. If you are able, we would love to have you. Please click on this link to sign up. Thank you!

Lastly, check out the picture - we had a very fun send-off. The band played for...members of the band who will be competing in State solo and ensemble! Good luck!

Alright, here's what we've got in the Scoop today:

• AP Testing Begins!
• Senior Graduation Information
• Senior Scholarship Survey
• Senior Slideshow Information
• Senior Grad Committee Information
• Special Education Survey
• Yearbook Sales
• College and Career Center Information
• Spring Sports Information
• Athlete of the Week
• Annual Football Golf Fundraiser
• Earth Day Event
• Books and Blooms
• AAA Booster Information
• Theater Update
• Band Update

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at tim.fox@hocksd.org. Thank you for your support!

Go Hawks! #Elevate

Our spring musical opens in one week! Join us for a heartwarming performance of The Sound of Music, brought to life by our talented student cast. Over 100 students from across the district are involved in this show. Tickets are available now on hockinsonhawks.com!

This beloved musical tells the story of Maria, a spirited young woman who brings music, love, and hope to the Von Trapp family as they face the rise of Nazi Germany. From unforgettable songs to a story of courage, this timeless classic is one you won’t want to miss. Mark your calendars and come support our amazing performers!

The HHS Music Boosters want to express our sincerest thank you to the friends and family of the Hockinson community and everyone who participated in the 16th Annual HHS Music Boosters Dinner, Auction, and Concert, On Broadway, a Musical Revue 4/19.

Thank you to all who donated, volunteered, performed, and supported this year. We’re ecstatic to think of what the HHS band program can accomplish with not only the amazing amount of funds raised, but the tremendous amount of community support at such a successful event. THANK YOU! Heathen Brewing Feral Public House and Charlie's Produce.
