Congratulations Madelyn for designing our new PBIS T-shirt! We love it! Students can wear these shirts on the first Wednesday of each month with uniform bottoms.

The best way to start a new school year is together. ❤️ Today was filled with learning, laughter, and growth as our teachers prepared for the exciting year ahead. We are ready to make this our best year yet!

Congratulations Mustangs!

Congratulations Riya! We are all so proud of you!

Riya Reddy is a graduating senior from Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies one of 19 valedictorians in the Class of 2026. Although she felt nervous about closing this chapter, Riya was excited to celebrate this milestone and look ahead to the future. During her time at Haynes, she served as co-president of Academic Games, where she competed nationally alongside her peers. She was also a member of the tennis team, student council, several honor societies, the Asian American Club, and served as the junior representative for the Teen Wellness Club.

Her advice to underclassmen is to avoid spreading yourself too thin and always make time to take care of yourself. Riya plans to attend Northwestern University in Chicago to major in economics with the goal of moving to New York and pursuing a career in investment banking. Riya would like to thank her parents for their constant support throughout her journey.

“I am grateful for my time at Haynes. I made lifelong friends, learned from amazing teachers, and created memories that I will always carry with me.” -Riya Reddy

Happy Summer, Mustangs! ☀️
We love celebrating our students at all the special moments in their lives—whether it’s a sporting event, an art show, theatrical performance, music recital, or dance recital.

Have an upcoming event? Share the details with us…you never know who might show up to cheer them on!

There’s nothing better than supporting our students and seeing all the incredible things they’re doing.

Teachers and staff, if you have pictures to share please post in the comments. Thanks!
