New Year, New Beginnings
All across campus, the start of the new year brings more opportunities for more expansion and outreach - to our community members, supporters, families, and alumni.
The Community Mental Health Hub has launched new classes, groups, and workshops, the Hanna Institute announced the June Summit event, our Residential Program is expanding and the Hanna School started the semester with new students.
None of this would be possible without your continued support - thank you!

Hanna’s 'Follow-On' Department provides support not only to all alumni but to our current high school students as well. Staff provides ‘add-on’ services beyond residential, academic, and medical - helping students open bank accounts, secure a driver’s license, get a part-time job, etc. They also meet with the families and coordinate with staff to create a post-graduate plan for success.
More info soon on the exciting launch of the new Transitional Age Youth Program, expanding our services to include community youth aging out of foster care!

Hanna Center
High School
| Hanna Center High School is preparing to submit its Western Association of School and Colleges (WASC) Self-Study report in late January. Our school faculty has been working on this multifaceted document for six months, gathering pertinent information that will show the accreditation board how the school processes work, what improvements are needed, and plans to implement those improvements. Although this process is grueling, staff welcome the challenge to prove that our school continues to be worthy of the opportunity to offer legitimate diplomas to all of our graduates. | |
Spiritual Reflections
by Father Sam
'I Wonder When'
We seem always to be waiting in either hope or anxiety but nonetheless waiting. Everyone waits - the Disciples, the Saints even Jesus had to wait “for the appointed hour.”

Student Profile
Meet Hanna Center High School senior, Luis!
Luis' dream is to one day own a dog kennel that offers daycare and boarding. “I’d like it to be near a school,” Luis says, "so teenagers can learn skills and maybe get some tutoring. The same kind of help that I received from Hanna.”

The high school CTE program includes Ag Health. Recently, students needed to draw blood from the two ewes to determine if they were pregnant. The boys handled the procedure with care and confidence! | Mike Snowden teaches the CTE Vocational Arts Construction Program. Last year, the students built 50 stars, strung them with lights and started a new tradition at Christmas time, by hanging them all along the Arnold Drive fence. Mike says, "We're all stars!"
Shine on, Hanna!
