Winter view of the softball fields this morning. Finals are underway!
Good luck to HHS students taking finals this week. Relax, take a deep breath, and do your best. You got this!
HHS Students and Staff,
As some of you may have heard, four students from Collinsville and Triad were involved in a tragic accident yesterday. We ask that HHS students and staff wear BLUE on Wednesday, Dec. 18 to show our support. Please see the correspondence below from Triad Middle School Principal, Matt Noyes. Our thought and prayers go out to the families.
From the TMS Principal:
TMS Parents/Guardians,
I hope that you and your families were all able to stay warm and safe during the recent winter storm our region experienced. As you may have heard, four teenage girls (2 from Triad and 2 from Collinsville) were involved in a tragic, fatal atv accident yesterday. The two Triad Middle School students are doing fine physically, but are understandably struggling with the loss of one of their close friends, while worrying about the injuries sustained to another. I would like to encourage all Triad Middle School students and staff members to join Collinsville Middle School in wearing blue tomorrow (Wednesday, December 18th) when we return to school as a sign of support for the students involved in this unfortunate accident. Please keep these families in your thoughts and prayers during such a difficult time.
We will have additional counselors available tomorrow for any students who need their support.
Thank you,
Matt Noyes

Reminder that early December graduates need to have all school materials (books, uniforms, etc) turned in this week. If students have any final exams to take, be sure to communicate with teachers to get those taken care of. Final transcripts will be available on January 13, 2020.
Best of luck to all of our early graduates! If we can help in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out to your school counselors, administrative team or office staff.
