Hi everyone!
It was an exciting and busy week at HMHS with field trips, the high school hosting its 2nd Annual School Design Challenge, and the National Honor Society organizing a blood drive for our community. Excitement is also building as some of our high school students prepare to depart for France next week and our 8th graders get ready for their trip to Washington, D.C. the following week. It's great to see our students taking part in so many meaningful experiences both in and beyond the classroom. Thank you to our staff and families who help make these opportunities possible for our students.
