Nomination forms are available by clicking
here, in Main Office, or from the receptionist in the main entry at HUHS. The nomination form must be signed to be valid and includea written essay nominating a specific educator from the HUHS District.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Any full-time educator with at least three years of education experience in the HUHS District is eligible for the award. There are specific criteria, which are used in making the final selection. These are listed on the nomination form, and include how well the educator: encourages learning, makes a difference with students, serves as a good role model for students, and fits the concept of an outstanding educator.
Nominations may be submitted by mail to Dan Dobner, Principal, by email to
dan.dobner@huhs.org, or in person to the receptionist in the main entry of the school. All nominations must be received by the April 1, 2016 deadline. The committee will meet the week of April 4, 2016, and the HUHS Educator of the Year for 2016 will be chosen and announced shortly thereafter. The award will be formally presented at the Hartford Rotary Banquet in May.
Nominees will receive a copy of all nominations submitted on their behalf.
We encourage everyone from the community to participate in this process. There are many outstanding educators at HUHS, and it is a very difficult task for the selection committee to select just one recipient of the award. It is important we receive input from every part of the HUHS community, so please participate by nominating the educator you feel is most worthy of this award. Thank you for your participation.

English Department Brings in Shakespearean Presenter
|
The English Department hosted Ron Fry from the Optimist Club in Milwaukee on Thursday. Fry presented to English 9, British Literature, and AP Literature classes, which are classes that study a drama by William Shakespeare. As Fry introduced himself as William Shakespeare, students were introduced to the historical and social aspects of the Elizabethan era. Focusing on Romeo & Juliet
, Hamlet
, and MacBeth
, Fry discussed nuances of the theatre and recited the most famous soliloquies of Shakespeare's work. He stressed the importance of seeing Shakespeare's work on the stage, rather than just reading the works. Students participated in the presentation by exchanging Elizabethan insults, portraying a character, and understanding sword play on the stage.
