Today was the first day of school for grades 1-12! After an assembly this morning, HES students met their new teachers, caught up with their friends, and participated in a variety of different activities throughout the day. Our school's theme is "To Infinity and Beyond" this year. Students will strive to meet goals and teachers go to "infinity and beyond" for their students. We are excited for a new year!!

Last night HES families were able to meet the teachers and bring school supplies prior to the first day of school. PTO, 4H, and Miss Susan were also there. Ice cream was enjoyed by all students after visiting classrooms. We are ready for a great new year!
