Yesterday we said a bittersweet goodbye to our Assistant Principal! Her upstairs family put together a sweet treat spread to celebrate her over four years of hard work, support, and dedication to the HCHS community. We are sad to see her leave, but so grateful for the time we had working beside such a great lady. Her presence will be missed beyond measure!

💚 It’s Start With Hello Week! 💚
This week, our school focused on creating an inclusive, kind, and connected community. From welcoming smiles to sweet encouragement, here is a look at how our students and staff made sure everyone felt seen and included:
Teachers in Green: Our staff wore green to promote the spirit of Hello Week!
Monday: SGA members greeted the student body with warm welcomes as everyone entered the building.
Tuesday: The volleyball team "chalked the walk," leaving uplifting and inspiring messages on the sidewalks.
Wednesday: Vocal Ensemble set up an Affirmation Table during lunch, spreading positivity across the cafeteria.
All Week Long: Key Club hosted a "Lunch Bunch" table every day, inviting students to pull up a chair, talk, and eat together.
Thursday: SGA and Peer Tutors are passing out "Encourage-Mints" to give every student a little boost.
Thank you to all of our incredible student groups and teachers for making our school a place where everyone belongs! 💚✨

Bet made. Bet paid! 📝📊🏆
After a friendly wager over state testing scores last year between Mrs. Catherine Long and Triton High Principal Mr. Marshall Jones, the results are in—and Harnett Central took the win!
Mr. Jones kept his word, swapped his Triton blue for Trojan gold, and greeted Harnett Central students as they arrived Friday morning.
Way to be a great sport, Mr. Jones, and congrats to our Harnett Central students and staff for earning those top scores! 🎉

EVERY STEP IN REMEMBRANCE

As part of today's September 11 observance, our HCHS Fire Technology students and JROTC cadets participated in a 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.

Students began at the opposite end of the school and made their way to the football field, where they climbed up and down the stadium bleachers to complete approximately 2,000–2,200 steps—the equivalent of 110 flights of stairs.

They climbed in remembrance of the 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, 125 Pentagon employees—55 military and 70 civilian—and the thousands of civilians who lost their lives in the attacks.

The climb was a powerful demonstration of endurance, but more importantly, an act of remembrance, respect, and gratitude for those who lost their lives, those who answered the call to serve, and the families who continue to carry their memory.

Every step had a purpose. Every step carried a memory. We will never forget.
