Here is the schedule of events for the HHS track meet on the 18th in Moundridge.
The HES March student of the month is Nathaniel Haney – first grade student in Mrs. Martin’s class. There are so many positive things we can say about Nathaniel! He is kind to his friends, works hard on assignments, and has worked very hard to follow directions. He has grown so much this year and now shows a great deal of focus in school and knows why it's important to learn. We are very proud of him and what he has accomplished! Nathaniel is the son of Grant and Dawn Haney.
Congratulations to the 2023-24 HHS Dance Team Members!

Coaches Hirsch and Rookstool were over the moon with excitement! “We could not have been more proud of the kids, ALL of them. Even the ones that didn’t break, performed outstanding! There were 28 schools and hundreds of entries. The team stood proud and tall yesterday,” said Coach Hirsch.
The LAST normal tournament will be on April 17th and regionals will be ok April 22nd, both at Wamego. The team has 12 qualified for state champs (16 is the max you can take) and 1 for state festival, which are on May 6th in Wichita. The next two tournament will hopefully raise both of those numbers.
