Good Evening, HSTAT!
I hope you're all having a fantastic week! We had such a busy and exciting time at school. Our College and Career Fair was an absolute hit, and it was so wonderful seeing our students and families connect with over 100 school and career representatives!
Looking ahead, we'd love for all of our families to join us for Monday night's PTA meeting! You can check out our website for all the details and to learn more about the awesome clubs HSTAT has to offer. Also, please keep an eye out for report cards coming home next Thursday afternoon.
We wish you all a wonderful, relaxing weekend and can't wait to see everyone on Monday!
Sincerely,
Principal Shepard

HSTAT 2026-2027 CLUB LIST
From Guidance
HSTAT will be rolling out our food availability initiative, "Come Bien, Viva Bien!" Our goal is to provide free and easily available food to our students, many who struggle with food insecurity, increased food insecurity due to the attacks on our immigrant community, on the food security of families who receive food stamps, and intense economic inflation. We also hope that this increases a sense of community, and supports our students in their advocacy.
We will start by opening our SNACKerias that will be available in between periods when students are passing in room 103, 231,331 and 431. Snacks will be healthy whole food options that are nut free.
