Today our Class of 2026 graduates took part in a special tradition—the Senior Grad Walk! Seniors returned to their former Hammond elementary schools, walking the halls once again, reconnecting with former teachers, and inspiring the next generation of students to dream big and work hard.

It was a full-circle moment filled with pride, memories, and inspiration. The future is bright for these Wolves, and we know they’ve already made a lasting impact on the students looking up to them today. Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓🐺

Reminder to all Hammond Central families: Beginning next school year, changes to our student cellphone policy will take effect in accordance with Indiana State Law Senate Enrolled Act 78. We encourage parents and students to review the updated expectations and prepare for a focused, distraction-free learning environment. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to promote student success!

Congratulations to Jose Gamino and Julian Cortez on signing to continue their soccer careers at Calumet College of St. Joseph! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment on and off the field have paid off, and the entire Hammond Central community is proud of you both. Best of luck at the next level, Wolves!

Here’s some cheer to wrap up the school year! A huge shoutout to the talented and hardworking students in Ms. Martin’s painting class who recently completed a mural for the Counselor’s Corner. Students collaborated on the color scheme and overall design, creating unique lettering to represent the individuality and unique needs of every student our counselors support.

Please help congratulate these students for their creativity and dedication: Aguillon Pirela, Jasmine Avelar, Grisell Caraballo, Victoria Cifuentes, Ramiro Cornejo, Ron’yelle Goodlow, Anthony Govea, Karina Granda, Stevan Hecakov, Hernandez, Arwa Mustafa, Christopher Springer, Isaiyah Wade, and Marcus Williams. Great work, Wolves!

Another exciting week of Wolf athletics is here as we celebrate our student athletes and cheer on our teams through postseason play!

Last week, Girls Tennis and Track competed in Sectionals while Baseball and Softball honored their seniors during Senior Night celebrations. Congratulations to our Regional Qualifiers: DaNarah Pleasant in the 200m, Frank Lopez in the 400m, and Carvell Clay in the 110m hurdles!

This week, good luck to our Baseball and Softball teams as they compete in Sectionals. Keep representing the pack with pride, Wolves!

🏆 Athletic Awards Night will be held Wednesday, May 27 at 5:00 PM in the Cafeteria.

Reminder, Wolves! Chromebook return days are today, May 26 and tomorrow, May 27. Before turning in your Chromebook, please remove all stickers and take out any papers or personal items. Be sure to hold onto your charger and do not turn it in at this time.
