Message from the Principal

This will be my last email of the 2020-2021 school year. And while saying goodbye is somewhat bittersweet, I am glad we will all have time to enjoy the summer months, rejuvenate and get ready for a wonderful start to the 2021-2022 school. This past year will go down in history as one of the most challenging for our students, staff and families. But as I reflect on the twists and turns that we navigated the past several months, I am reminded of the many successes that we shared. Time and time again I saw the HPHS Giant spirit come to life - sometimes on a screen, and more recently in-person. I know we will bring that same energy and pride back to HPHS in the fall.

Many of us attended graduation last night and we are so proud of our Class of 2021! From the first day of school freshman year until the last day of senior year, we hope you enjoy these two captured moments of our Seniors. Check out the Class of 2021’s First Day of School - August 22, 2017 and then their Last Day of School - May 17, 2021.
