HHS Open House is scheduled for Tuesday, August 17 from 5:30-6:30 pm at HHS.  

  • Students and parents are encouraged to attend to meet teachers, visit classrooms, and walk schedules.
  • Open House is an informal come-and-go event with no set schedule for the evening.

  • School Supply lists for HHS students will be provided by teachers at Open House or during the first week of school.  Students typically need pens, pencils, notebooks, folders, and a few specialty items that teachers will share (Scientific Calculator for math/science, binders, art supplies, etc.)  A notebook and a pen or pencil for the first day are a good idea.
  • PE UNIFORMS-Grey T-Shirt with name on the back (Either printed or with a marker) and black athletic shorts are required.  PE teachers will offer more details when school begins.  Students can use their shirts from HMS as well if they chose
