Parking Pass Information - Important!
|
 Just a friendly reminder to have student parking passes visible on the car they bring to school (If they use multiple cars, make sure it's on the one they bring to school). We have been experiencing students taking parking spots without a pass so the police will be checking.
Also, there are still passes available for the 2016-2017 school year. The North Lot $100 (big lot attached to the school) has 7 passes left and the East Lot $50 (smaller one across the street) lot has about 20 left.

2017 Senior Pictures
|
Click
here to see the list of Senior Pictures Received
.
The deadline has passed, but late pictures are accepted with a $25 fee until January 20.
Senior Picture Requirements:
- Senior pictures were due JANUARY 6, 2017. If you have a photo that you would still like to submit a $25 late fee will occur.
- If a senior picture is not submitted, the Life Touch ID photograph will be used.
- Please email one digital file of your photograph to yearbook@huhs.org. It must be at least 2x3 inches at 300dpi. If you cannot send a digital file, we can digitize it, but this will reduce the quality from the original. Please name your file with your last name, _ , then your first name (example: doe_john.jpg). File types can be .jpg or .tiff
- Photos must be vertical color prints, with no props, no pets, no hats, and have a simple background. Dress needs to be school appropriate. Remember, the pictures in our yearbook are small, so ideally the photo should show just the head and shoulders. We want to maximize your face size.
- Many local photographers have these deadlines and may the send the photo for you if you ask. Please understand that your photographer will need probably 6 weeks or more to get photos done. This means you should have your pictures taken by the middle of November to get them done with enough time to spare.
- We cannot accept prints from a Laser or inkjet home computer printer.
Any students who do not turn in senior pictures by January 20 will have their HUHS school picture published in the yearbook.
If you have any questions, contact me, Ms. Jana Danay, yearbook adviser, at either
yearbook@huhs.org or
jana.danay@huhs.org

Thank you,
Jana Danay

Some News from Activities & Athletics

Wrestling - Orioles top Suns, 44-27
|
Hartford Union turned a nine-point deficit into a 12-point advantage in just four matches. It led to a 44-27 victory against Wisconsin Little Ten foe West Bend East on Wednesday. "When you're young and give up a forfeit at each dual, it can be tough times," Hartford Union coach Steve Best said. "You have to stay positive and keep building. It can be harder if the wins aren't coming. "This allows the kids to say, OK, this is what the hard work is doing,'" he added. "That breeds more hard work and you now practice with a purpose." The dual began at 120 pounds. After eight matches, the visitors led 28-17, despite two unlikely forfeits involving a pair of East's top two weight classes. "We didn't have a returning state-qualifier (Bryce) or two ranked kids," Brent Henschel said. "That's a 24-point swing." East normally forfeits the 138-pound class. With the two additional ones Wednesday, it had three consecutive forfeits. That led to an 18-15 advantage for Hartford. The Suns quickly made up for the forfeits with three consecutive pins from Cooper Schlosser (152), Cody Hughes (160) and Kyle Yochem (170). Hartford would not lose another match.
Hartford Union's Quinn Meinerz takes down West Bend East's Jason Myrick in the 285-pound match during Wednesday's dual in Hartford. Meinerz won after pinning Myrick in the second round. Hartford Union won the match, 44-27.

Girls Gymnastics News

Hartford Union placed seventh (112.7), nearly a full point ahead of Oconomowoc.
Ella Justman scored a 7.775 on the balance beam, and was the highest individual event scorer at 15th. Justman led off the varsity, and coach Mary Scherr noted six of her 10 athletes "stuck their routine."
"That's always a highlight when you're low on beam falls," Scherr added.
The Orioles participated in only their
second competition and Scherr felt they were shaky on the floor.
"I think we did really well. We have a very young team, and I only had one senior competing today," she added. "Had some that were pretty nervous for their first time out, that have never competed before."
Hartford Union's Ella Justman performs during her balance beam routine.
