HES wants to say a big THANK YOU to all of the local businesses that step up to do special things for our students and staff! We have recently received donations from Casey's, Iserve, Pizza Hut, and Barnes Heartland Foods. We have used the donated items to provide a little "pick me up" for our students and staff. HES also received donations from several businesses and families last fall for our National Blue Ribbon Award ceremony and celebration. We are so appreciative of all the support we receive from our local community!
Good Luck to our HHS wrestlers as they compete at Silver Lake this weekend.
Good Luck to the HMS Boys who advanced to the 2nd round of the League Tournament.
