Celebrating our 8th graders was such a special moment! This group of students has left a lasting impact on HJHS through their leadership, accomplishments, and school spirit. While we will certainly miss seeing them in our halls, we are excited to see all they will achieve in high school and beyond. Once a Panther, always a Panther! Go Big Red!

During the last week of school, we celebrated students who took the ACAP testing seriously by showing up each day, working hard, and demonstrating positive behavior. We were excited to give away 40 gift cards, 4 speakers, and an iPad as rewards for their effort and commitment. We are proud of all the students for giving their best during testing!

A big thank you to our Student Council for the outstanding leadership you provided throughout this school year! Your positive impact helped make HJHS a better place for everyone. We appreciate all you have done!

Last week, the recipients of the Panther Belt were our amazing staff members! Our school simply could not function without these incredible individuals and all they do each day to support our students, teachers, and school community. We are so thankful for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to HJHS!

This afternoon, we celebrated our amazing 7th graders during the awards ceremony! We have so many students who accomplished wonderful things this school year, and we are incredibly proud of each and every one of them. Congratulations to all of our award recipients—Go Big Red!
