FEATURED EVENT: High School Graduations
Congratulations to all of our newly-minted high school graduates and GED-earners! The ceremonies were touching, poignant, inspiring, and fun. Thank you to all of the families and friends who attended the graduations and cheered on your graduate(s); and also to the staff, contractors, and volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make the events happen. As 19th century English poet Arthur O'Shaughnessy said: "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." Best wishes, graduates! We are so proud of you!

New Facility Use Fee Structure and Schedule
|
|
After nearly a year of researching and auditing our facility use system and fees, HSD has updated Board Policy KG - Community Use of District Facilities, and the policy's accompanying administrative regulations (KG-AR1, KG-AR2), to reflect a change in rental fee rates and a tiered rate structure based on the type of organization requesting the usage. The new rental fee structure and rates will take effect on September 14, 2019. Current users are being contacted directly about this change. Additional information can be found on the Use of Facilities page of our website.
