HUHS Parents and Guardians,

We just finished up a successful week of professional development and Return to Learn planning with staff. Please look for an email next Wednesday, August 26, 2020, for an important message on our details for returning to campus. Join me for a Superintendent Chat via Facebook Live from 4:30-5:30 pm that evening where you will have an opportunity to ask questions about our Return to Learn plan.

We are looking forward to meeting our incoming Freshman at JumpStart! August 24 and 25 from 8:00-11:45 am. For more information, please see our website. Sign up for JumpStart! Here.

For those students who have chosen Live Digital Classroom to start the school year, you will be able to drive-thru and pick up your computers and books on August 26 & 27 from 3:00-5:00 pm.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend!

Jeffrey A. Walters

How are we doing?

Fall Sports

The WIAA Board approved a plan which calls for flexibility for the starting of fall sports. HUHS will follow the plan put into place by the WIAA and the Board of Control. At this time, Boys and Girls Cross Country, Girls Golf, Girls Swimming & Girls Tennis will begin practice on Aug 17. Football, Boys Soccer & Boys and Girls Volleyball will begin Sept 7.

The health and safety of our students and staff within the HUHS Athletic Department remain our highest priority. We will continue to provide training opportunities for our student-athletes while upholding health and safety best practices. We hope to provide more strength and speed sessions and training opportunities this fall for our student-athletes as they prepared for delayed fall seasons. Most importantly, we need our student-athletes to continue to be safe and healthy while they are not participating in HUHS school activities.

Events

Both HUHS and community events will be posted here.

Up-to-date health and safety information will be posted here.

Hartford. It’s happening here.

The City of Hartford, Chamber of Commerce, Downtown District and Economic Development have agreed to join forces and pool resources to develop and implement a cohesive and strategic marketing campaign for the Hartford Community. An integral part of achieving success will be to create awareness and a positive image of Hartford, including its quality of life amenities, tourist attractions, business opportunities, school options and affordable housing.

Hartford is growing in many ways and we are proud to be ranked as one of the safest and fastest-growing Wisconsin cities. We have invested over $20 million in our community and are home to 7 of the top 20 Washington County employers. Unfortunately, based on research, awareness of these numbers and Hartford is relatively low, and perception is poor.

In an effort to change perceptions, we want to promote what’s happening here in Hartford and will be doing this through a digital marketing campaign that includes monthly emails and social media posts.
