Principal's Message
Hinsdale South High School is honored to recognize the indelible place the Hispanic community holds in our nation’s history and in our hearts. We honor the many contributions we enjoy through Hispanic contributions in various fields like literature, science, business, medicine, government, and the arts. During Hispanic Heritage Month, Hinsdale South is pleased to remember and reaffirm that our nation’s and school’s diversity is one of our greatest strengths. We also acknowledge the ongoing struggles for equity and justice in communities of color as all seek to live and thrive in our beautiful free nation. Hinsdale South is committed to ensuring the academic goals of Hispanic students are nurtured, their families are welcomed, and their talent, skills, and culture continue to enrich our institution.
We Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
