Greetings!,
Great job Orioles on a wonderful start to the school year!
As young adults, I am certain you have heard that the choices you make will either move you forward or backward, and today, each one of you made choices that allowed us to “Return to Learn”. Our positive actions today, earned us tomorrow, and our choices each day moving forward will reward us with another day, and more opportunities to move towards the normalcy each school year has provided us prior to March of 2020.
There will be challenges ahead, but please know we are committed to providing the richest of educational experiences each of you deserve, and your parents desire while keeping our campus as safe and healthy as possible.
This past spring, many of you, along with our 2020 high school graduates, had opportunities taken away from you, including Prom, Senior Classic, athletic competitions, and so many more of life’s moments. Prior to March, high school seniors I’ve worked with for the past 24 years looked forward to their graduation day and didn’t worry whether this ceremony would happen, let alone when and where it may occur.
What I have learned over these past six months is to appreciate more what we have, take nothing for granted, and working together great things can be accomplished.
We know there are better and healthier days ahead, and we are so very excited you have chosen to take this journey with us!
Be Responsible, Be Grateful, Be an Oriole!
Let's make it a great year!
Mr. Jeffrey A. Walters, Superintendent
Hartford Union High School District
