Freshmen Cohort News
|
Each week students in the Freshman Cohort get 20% of their time to work on a long term project (we call this Google Time). This term the students are working on Feeding 9 Billion people. They have completed background research through a review of the literature as well as a meta-analysis (synthesis of 3-9 sources depending upon the group size). They are working on an Action Plan to try to solve a problem in their designated region of the world as well as attempting to grow plants using bottle biology techniques. To end the project, students will present their plan in front of their peers during Cohort time as well as display a physical representation of their Action Plan at The Showcase.

Based on the book by Tony Wagner and and Ted Dintersmith,
Most Likely to Succeed is an edu-documentary upon the book shown this last August at the Milwaukee Film Festival and is currently being shown across the country. The book and documentary

Thursday, January 28. We have posted the event on
EventBrite. You can log in to get your

Junior Parent/Student Night
All junior students and their parents are encouraged to attend the Junior Parent Night on Wednesday, January 6, 2016, at 6:30pm in the field house. The presentation will cover course registration details, assessment dates, college and career readiness plans, and information pertinent to junior students. A panel of HUHS graduates who are freshmen in college or technical college will be there to talk about their senior year and how they prepared for college and scholarship applications. They will also talk about their experience as college students now that they've completed their first semester and what the transition was like from high school student to college freshman.

ACT Testing
All students considering a two or four-year college experience are reminded to take the ACT test during their junior year. Students can register for the ACT at
www.actstudent.org . When registering, students will need the HUHS school code, which is 500-850. Please remember to check the website to see if the college(s) your son or daughter is considering requires or recommends the ACT writing test. The test fee for the ACT is $39.50 and the ACT with writing is $56.50. If you feel you cannot afford the test fee, please ask your child's counselor if you are eligible for a fee waiver.
HUHS is an ACT test center for all testing dates. The test dates for the 2015-2016 school year are:
February 6, 2016 April 9, 2016 June 11, 2016
Note: Please keep in mind all juniors are required by state law to take the ACT at the high school on March 1 (no cost to the student on March 1). When considering whether or not to take the February or April ACT, it may be best for students to take the March 1 test, then decide whether or not to retake the test in June based upon March results.
