Hamilton Highlights
HTHS Newsletter
Dear Families,
Happy Friday, Ranger Nation! We hope that you enjoyed your longer weekend and are ready for the alleged weather that is on its way. We would like to take this time to remind you to check Hamilton Local Schools' social media accounts to ensure you are aware of the closure or delay status of the district. Official determinations will be communicated through automated district phone calls in addition to the social media posts. Should the weather take the rather cold and snowy turn that is forecasted, we hope you all stay safe and warm.
Here are our updates for this week!
Vote for Alexis Wooten!
One of our own has been nominated for The Columbus Dispatch Athlete of the Week! Please support Alexis Wooten, a standout on a basketball team who has already committed to continuing her athletic and academic career at University of Rio Grande. Last week, we reported on Alexis's 1000th career point; she's one of four female HTHS basketball players to ever achieve that stat! In addition to performing on the court, Alexis maintains the highest levels of academic excellence and serves as an officer in both the National Honor Society and Student Council. Click below to support Alexis!
Save the Date for c/o 2026!
While we are in NO WAY ready to think about our seniors walking the stage, we also want to ensure you know when and where you can celebrate the absolutely wonderful Class of '26. More details will be forthcoming, but make sure you mark your calendar for Graduation 2026!
When: May 21, 2026 @ 6:30PM

ACT Testing for Juniors
On Wednesday, March 18, 2026 we are pleased to offer the ACT to all juniors, at no cost! Students attending the Career Centers will test at the Career Center, not at HT. Please look for communication from the EFCTS regarding their specific testing plans.
Why is taking the ACT beneficial?
The ACT is more than just a college entrance exam. Taking the test can provide several benefits for your student, including:
College Admissions: Most colleges and universities use ACT scores for admission decisions.
Scholarship Opportunities: A strong ACT score can make students eligible for a wide range of academic scholarships from colleges, universities, and private organizations.
Course Placement: Colleges often use ACT scores to place students in appropriate freshman-level courses, such as English and mathematics.
Career and Educational Planning: The ACT provides valuable information about a student's academic strengths, which can help guide their future career and educational choices.
Jersey Mike's Athlete of the Week
Congratulations to none other than Lita Anderson! Lita was selected as this week's Jersey Mike's Athlete of the Week. As a freshman, she shows so much promise as a leader on the court and in the classroom. We are extremely proud of Lita and cannot wait to watch her the rest of the season! Congratulations, Lita!
Some HTHS Core Values
Please see this message about some of the most important aspects of being a successful Ranger.
The Importance of Attendance
At Hamilton Township High School, showing up matters. One of the most important factors in a student’s success—both in and out of the classroom—is regular attendance.
Academic Success
Students who attend school consistently are more likely to keep up with coursework, understand lessons fully, and earn higher grades. Missing just a few days can make it hard to catch up and creates gaps in learning.
Extra-Curricular Opportunities
Strong attendance connects students to the full high school experience. From athletics to band, cheer, choir, and clubs, students must maintain good attendance to participate and perform at their best. Being present also helps build friendships, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Post-Secondary Readiness
Colleges, employers, and the military all value reliability and responsibility. A strong attendance record demonstrates commitment, dependability, and time management—qualities that open doors for future opportunities.
Starting Strong Matters
The beginning of the school year sets the tone. Students who establish good attendance habits early are more likely to maintain them throughout the year, which leads to long-term success. Every day in class counts, especially during the opening weeks when routines, expectations, and relationships are being built.
