Congratulations to Jordan and Wyatt on a fantastic concert in the 34th annual North Area Honor Band!
🎭This afternoon at the State Oral Interpretation Festival in Watertown, Ava performed her Humorous piece and earned a Superior, which meant she got to take that special walk across the stage. Only the highest-scoring performers receive this recognition, and achieving it as a freshman in a solo piece is truly remarkable. Congratulations, Ava! 🏅
The Safe Harbor tree is up and already has some great items under it. We will take donations until December 19th at 12:30pm. Thank you to all who donates to this great cause! 🎄🎁

Each class was assigned a color so we could create a rainbow!

Every one of our performers delivered their strongest performance of the season and represented our school and community with excellence. We couldn’t be prouder!💜🩶

🎭What a day for our Oral Interp students!
Fifteen outstanding performances were shared today by students in grades 7–12 at our local Oral Interp competition. Performing in front of a large audience, especially one filled with familiar faces, can be one of the most intimidating stages of all. Yet, it also makes for the perfect first performance of the year, surrounded by such a supportive community. The judges had their work cut out for them, with many tough decisions on who will advance to the District Competition on November 4. Overall, it was an amazing day and a spectacular showcase of our talented Fine Arts students! 🎭 👏🏻
🎭 Join us this Friday, October 24, for our Local Oral Interp Contest! 🎭
Our talented students will be performing in the HHS Band Room beginning at 11:00 a.m. There will be a short lunch break from 12:00–12:30 p.m., with performances resuming afterward until all are finished.
Come enjoy the performances and support our students as they share their hard work and talent! Guests are welcome to come and go between performances as needed.
Join us for our annual Trunk or Treat this Friday. 🎃🍬
We'd love to add more Veterans to our tribute "Veterans Wall" video. 💗🤍💙
