Educator of the Year: Call for Nominations
Nominations are now being accepted for the 2021 Educator of the Year Award at HUHS until 3:00 PM on Friday, March 5, 2021, from students, parents, other teachers, staff, and administrators to provide recognition for outstanding educators.
Nomination forms are available by clicking HERE or from the receptionist at the main entrance at HUHS. The nomination form must be signed to be valid and include a written essay nominating a specific educator from the HUHS District.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Any full-time educator with at least three years of education experience in the HUHS District is eligible for the award. There are specific criteria, which are used in making the final selection. The criteria are listed on the nomination form and include how well the educator: encourages learning, makes a difference with students, serves as a good role model for students, and fits the concept of an outstanding educator.
Nominations may be submitted by mail to Mary Lynn Christian, HR Supervisor, by email to marylynn.christian@huhs.org, or in-person to the receptionist at the main entrance of the school. All nominations must be received by the March 5, 2021 deadline. The committee will meet the week of March 18, 2021, and the HUHS Educator of the Year for 2021 will be chosen and announced shortly thereafter. The award will be formally presented at the Hartford Rotary Banquet in May. Nominees will receive a copy of all nominations submitted on their behalf.
We encourage everyone from the community to participate in this process. There are many outstanding educators at HUHS, and it is a very difficult task for the selection committee to select just one recipient of the award. It is important we receive input from every part of the HUHS community, so please participate by nominating the educator you feel is most worthy of this award. Thank you for your participation.

Hartford Wrestling Practice Facility Campaign |
The Hartford Athletic Department and Wrestling Program are excited to announce that on Monday, November 16, the HUHS School District approved plans to construct a new wrestling practice facility. This facility has been designed for year-round training and will become the new home for both the HUHS Wrestling team and the Hartford Youth Wrestling Program. We are very excited to be able to offer this exclusive space for the wrestling programs in our community.
This new facility will provide three full wrestling mats with subfloor as well as wall mats for our wrestlers’ safety. The space will also be conducive to hosting Hartford Wrestling Club dual meets. To make this practice facility a reality, we are asking the HUHS wrestling community, alumni, wrestling families, friends, and businesses to help us raise funds to cover the cost of the subfloor, mats, and training equipment.
We have already received a $10,000 mat sponsorship from the Hartford Wrestling Club! Thank you!
All gifts to the Hartford wrestling practice facility campaign are tax deductible and will be recognized in a donor display in the Hartford wrestling practice facility. Outlined below are several opportunities for you to contribute to this exciting project. Thank you in advance for your support!

Special Adaptive Swim Lessons
The Hartford Parks and Recreation Department is offering Special Adaptive Swim Lessons. If interested, applications are due February 15 with the class starting February 24 – March 24 Wednesday nights.
The goal is to create three classes of up to 4 students that are at the same level of swim ability. One class may be for those that have never been in the water. And the other classes will be students that have swam competitively. Or maybe there would be a class of students that fall in between never swam before and swam competitively. It will just all depend on those that apply on what type of classes there would be. Class start times could be 5, 5:45 or 6:30.
If interested complete the attached ‘application” and return by mail, email or drop off at the Recreation Center. Staff will look through the applications and make up to three classes that will have up to 4 similarly experienced swimmers. You will be contacted once classes have been arranged. At that point, payment would be required.
Below in the description from the Hartford Recreation Department Activity Guide:
Special Adaptive (Ages 5+)
Applications for Special Adaptive Swim lessons are now being accepted. Applications will be reviewed to create classes of 4 students, grouping the applicants into times to create the best learning environment for all students.

Applications Due: March 29
Class Held: Wednesdays
