We did it! I am so proud of the 8th graders, they represented HHS very well today, both academically and in conduct. The top four teams from our regional contest are:
*White Castle: Paving the Way for Fast Food
*Paving the Path to Independence: Treaty of Paris as a Turning Point in American History
* Jimi Hendrix: Electric Evolution
*Fencing the Frontier: Barbed Wires Grip on American Agriculture
These four teams plus five more top scorers have the choice to advance on to compete at the state level in April.
HES families, our Title 1 staff needs your input on the annual survey. Please take a few minutes to complete the annual survey and help us make adjustments for next year.

Several members of HHS Drama Club had the immense honor of working with Quincy Community Theatre Artistic Director Brandon Thomsen in an engaging and insightful Acting the Song Workshop Wednesday afternoon.
Our actors learned so many immediately useful techniques to act out the stories within their solos for their upcoming spring showcase!
We are so thankful to Mr. Thomsen for taking the time to work with us and for making us stronger actors and storytellers!
