HMS celebrated our Q1 Pep Rally today, and what a fun way to wrap up the quarter! Our Bulldogs enjoyed Scooter Races, Kiss the Calf footage, a raffle drawing, slime, and a Finish That Lyric challenge!

A huge shoutout to our pep band for helping bring the energy, and congratulations to all our fall sports teams as we celebrated their hard work and accomplishments!

We love seeing our Bulldog pride on full display! Here's to a great first quarter and an even better second!
