The HHS Forensics team traveled to Wichita Collegiate today! It was a long and challenging day for MANY reasons. But it ended with some great moments!!! The team got two more state qualified events and the team pulled some really high scores in rounds. Overall, a great day! The following medaled: *State Champs Qualified Aiden Souza - Humorous Solo - 6th *Brooklyn Schroeder - Serious Solo - 2nd Tucker Morris & Courtney Naylor - IDA - 4th *Brooklyn Schroeder & Aiden Souza - IDA - 2nd Coach Hirsch is extremely excited and proud of the entire team. “We ran into some challenges but we faced them head on and we ended up with FANTASTIC results!” The season is winding down. They now have 7 events qualified for state champs. They hope to raise that number in the next few weeks. The next tournament will be next Saturday the 1st at McPherson. Go Railers!!

The HES February student of the month is Maddox Gentz – fifth grade student in Mrs. Schneider’s Class. Maddox has become an amazing role model here at HES. He is a great friend to all of his peers and is always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. He makes us laugh daily with his funny personality, which creates a fun learning environment for all of us. Maddox is also a hard worker. Not only is his work always completed on time, but he puts forth his best effort with every task that he is given. We can always count on him to do the right thing, whether we are watching or not. We are so glad to be able to get to know Maddox throughout this school year. He is such an amazing young man, and we can’t wait to see what great things the future holds for him. Maddox is the son of Jason and Brandee Gentz.
