The middle school staff members chose 6th grader, Sadie Haws as the March Student of the Month. Sadie participates in volleyball, basketball, track, student council, band, softball, swim team, and cheerleading. Sadie believes she was chosen as the middle school student of the month because she is respectful, responsible, and safe. She also enjoys helping other students and teachers in the classroom, hallway, and school activities. Sadie is the daughter of Marcus and Allie Hawkes and Jason Haws.

CHANGE IN LOCATION FOR LITERACY NIGHT!

Please join us Friday for these presentations: Milford Nature Center - Unlovable Animals, "Ms. Susan" Mueller, deer sheds and turkey calls, and guest readers. You can also complete a letter hunt for prizes, watch an archery demonstration, make a bird house, do a leaf rubbing, and create your own trail mix. Door prizes will be given at the end of the event. We are looking forward to a fun and educational evening and hope to see many HES families. #backontrack

At the June 2021 Kansas State Board of Education meeting, Commissioner of Education Randy Watson announced the establishment of a Graduation Requirements Task Force, which include members of the State Board of Education, business leaders, curriculum directors, high school principals, counselors, teachers, KSHSAA, local boards of education and superintendents, charged with examining graduation requirements in Kansas from at least three different lenses:
Additional courses or deletion of courses required for graduation (if any).
Examination of competencies and multiple ways to show mastery of skills which allow students to move at their own pace and time.
Examination of any additional requirements in addition to the high school diploma (value-added assets such as industry recognized certificate, college credits, etc.)
Today, we’re asking for your feedback to help guide the work of this group. Please use this link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgh-IpVSnY3zDAAKh1UdVOs48u-bcjLjqxI8gOP2-8TYBQHA/viewform?usp=sf_link to complete a short survey regarding your thoughts on Kansas’ high school graduation requirements.
The deadline to submit feedback is April 15.
Thank you.
