Students who have failed or anticipate failing a required class for graduation and are in need of credit recovery should see Mrs. Boeshans (grades 10-12) or Mr. Esterby (grades 7-9) in the fall. There are multiple credit recovery options available to students during the school year and summer through either area ALCs or online independent study. Students can also retake failed classes at HHS. Find information about credit recovery options here. Summer school is offered in Detroit Lakes and Moorhead. Summer school is not offered in Hawley.

HHS Calm Space - a semi-private space in the student support services office area set aside for students who need a space to calm and collect themselves. To use it, simply stop by the student support services office - it's the area between the plants and the windows. (It's a work in progress as we get settled in our new space!)
Change to Chill - This website is created by Allina Health in collaboration with teens. It's all about mindfulness and stress relief.
Virtual Calming Room - a great collection of free, easy to access resources to help you find some calm in the midst of stress or just take care of yourself on a day-to-day basis. Thanks to the Wayzata High School Counseling Department for sharing this resource!
Nugget PSAs - A series of PSA (Public Service Announcement) videos around specific topics that may be useful to students. These videos are posted on Mrs. Boeshans's YouTube channel.
