It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of one of our 8th grade students, Cade Werner. Cade came to HUHS each morning from the H-N-R District to attend Math classes to accelerate his academics. Cade's brother, Cody is a student at HUHS along with many cousins, friends, and relatives. HUHS Counselors provided support throughout the week for those that were in need. Click here to view the obituary for Cade. Please keep the Werner family and friends in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Congratulations to Mr. Terry Wick!
|
 Congratulations to Mr. Terry Wick, an AP Psychology and Social Studies teacher at Hartford Union High School for being selected to the American Psychology Association (APA) Summit on High School Psychology Education. Mr. Wick is one of forty AP Psychology teachers from across the country that was selected for this unique professional development opportunity. The application and selection process was competitive, as the summit works to strengthen the value, delivery, assessment, and reach of high school psychology.
The APA Summit on High School Psychology Education will take place at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah from
July 9 to July 14, 2017. The summit has been planned around eight themes, each representing an important aspect of high school psychology education. Mr. Wick has been selected to serve on the standards strand that will review the national standards to provide for a more uniform delivery across the country.
Mr. Wick is continuously working in collaboration with Psychology teachers around the country. Beyond attending the summit next summer, each summer for the last five years, Mr. Wick attends the AP Psychology test scoring sessions where he works with his colleagues to score all of the AP examinations from around the country. The experiences and relationships that he has built across the country have only improved the experiences and education that our students at HUHS receive.
This year, Mr. Wick has gone outside of the typical AP curriculum to offer a course that combines the intricacies of science and psychology to offer our students a dual-credit AP Biology/AP Psychology bundled course. Mr. Wick co-teaches this course with Science Teacher, Kevin Martin. At this time, we are unaware of another school in our country that is offering this type of learning opportunity. Mr. Wick and Mr. Martin have partnered with doctors and researchers from the Medical College of Wisconsin to embrace the connections between Biology and Psychology.
The s
tudents enrolled in this course are getting up-to-date
medical research and studies to support the AP curricula. Students have shadowed researchers and analyzed data while the teachers have frequently visited with medical professional's weeknights throughout the year. Mr. Wick and Mr. Martin have shown a passion for their content areas while fusing them together to provide students with a second-to-none learning experience!
It is this professional development, research, and enthusiasm for psychology that allows for our AP Psychology program at HUHS to be one of the most successful in our school. Mr. Wick has continuously shared his passion for psychology to push his students to learn and be very successful in the field and in their next levels of education.

Many common household products such as laundry packs, hand sanitizer, synthetic marijuana and others items are highly poisonous.
The CDC estimates that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of food-borne diseases.
Poison centers offer free, private, confidential medical advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can reach your local poison center by calling 1-800-222-1222. This web site offers many helpful hints on reducing the risk of poisonings and mentions things you maybe never knew are toxic. The American Association Of Poison Centers is also having a contest for a new logo with a $500.00 prize and National Recognition for a winner who submits a new design for the AAPCC.
