📢 Information for Our School Families:

We want to help make sure our families have access to important information and resources that may affect them. 💚

Changes to the Healthy Michigan Plan are coming in 2027, including new work requirements for some Medicaid members ages 19–64.

If you or someone in your family receives coverage through the Healthy Michigan Plan, we encourage you to take a moment to review this information so you know what to expect and can take any necessary steps to keep your coverage in place.

Please see the information below for details and resources. 👇

Run, don't walk- the 2026-2027 Hesperia High School Yearbook is now available for $52, the lowest price of the school year! This offer will only last until September 18th, so purchase your yearbook now to save over ten dollars.

As our yearbooks are ordered ahead of time, this means that the 2026-2027 book will not be in until August. However, our team is hard at work and is very excited to deliver another amazing book this year!

There are also still 2025-2026 books available in the high school office for $60, if you missed your chance to grab one.
