It was great having some former students tour HHSS today … 50 years after their graduation!

2 of their former teachers, Mr Brohman and Mr Glidden, also joined the tour.

Thank you to some of our amazing students who took time after exams to give the tours! They learned a lot about the school’s history during that tour!

Have a wonderful 50th HHSS reunion weekend!

Well that was a Prom to remember! The Hydro Crew saved Prom! With no power at the start of the evening the crew (Jarett Rowden) came quickly and figured out a work around to get power for us so we didn’t have to cancel! We appreciate them so much!
It still turned out to be a great night with lots of pictures, dancing, awards, dinner and fun!
Thank you to the prom committee and Mr Collins for organizing it all, the grade 11s who volunteered to check everyone in and stayed to clean up, and to the staff who chaperoned!
We have a great community who comes together to pull off great things!
