Welcome to H-F, Class of 2022!
Welcome to H-F!
H-F warmly welcomes its Class of 2022 students and parents for a special look at H-F on Tuesday, April 24, at 6:30 p.m. in the South Gym. Together, they will enjoy a tour of campus and engage with a panel of students, teachers and parents who will discuss the H-F experience. Throughout the evening, you will learn tips and tools for high school success and get your questions answered so your student can start off freshman year with confidence. 
Community Coffee & Edda Showcase: April 25
Please plan to join us at H-F on the evening of Wednesday, April 25, for two special events:

   
The final evening Community Coffee of the school year will be held 6-7 p.m. in the South Building TLC. This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about our school and to meet with administrators and board members, if available.

Down the hall in South Building Room E1, the sponsors and staff of Edda - H-F's art and literary magazine - will be hosting a release party and showcase for this year's magazine: From the Ashes. Stop by to pick up your copy ($5) that features student writings and artwork. You'll also enjoy dramatic readings by our Theatre students and music performed by H-F's Kendall Carter, James Harbin & Manuel Gonzalez.   

Spring Play: She Kills Monsters
Coming soon to the Mall Auditorium: 
She Kills Monsters

This dramatic comedy, written by Qui Nguyen, will close the drama season this school year at H-F, running at 7 p.m. May 3-5. Directed by Mrs. Bonavia-Galligani, the play tells the story of a high school teacher, Agnes Evans ( Joy Woods), as she leaves her childhood home following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly ( Maggie Sullivan). When Agnes finds Tilly's Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and an action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly's refuge. Tickets will be available at the door: $9/adult, $6/student/senior. Presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., and recommended for high school through adult audiences. 

 
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Last Thursday, students in H-F's PE classes learned about water safety during a special presentation by Dave Benjamin of the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to saving lives through water-safety advocacy and drowning survival strategies.
