The 12th graders in chamber choir gave a powerful rendition of “Photograph”, by Nickelback, while the entire senior class led the audience in the HCS Alma Mater to end the evening.

ELEMENTARY LIBRARY FIELD TRIPS
Here are some photos from our elementary walking field trips to the library over the last few weeks! The students were able to learn a little about the history of the library, including a little about the Read family. We heard about the fun program Joann Haberli will be hosting - doodle bot making, team game challenges, movie nights, and more! Then, the students got to play a game together.
We want to thank Joann for taking the time to welcome us into the library and show us what wonderful things it has to offer!
