We are incredibly proud to share a look back at our recent art show! Take a look through these highlights to see the amazing creativity, vibrant colors, and hard work displayed by our talented students. A massive thank you goes to our wonderful art teacher, Mrs. Northrop, who poured her heart into organizing this beautiful event and ensured that every single student at HES was represented with a piece of art. Thanks to her dedication, we had a phenomenal turnout from our school community. We appreciate everyone who came out to support our young artists and make the gallery night a massive success!
