HC Alumni News
And just like that, it is September! August was filled with "Back to School" excitement and traditions! Our students and families couldn't be happier that classes have resumed and that masks are only being required during large group assemblies indoors. This means that lunch time is back to it's vibrant buzz of activity with students strewn about campus lounging and eating with their friends and catching up on classes. We have even seen the addition of the 9-Square court in front of the Mustang Corral for anyone wanting to move around and use up some energy before getting back to class.

Our retreats have become a very important part of our community and our students were thrilled to have them back on the schedule as the year kicked off! The freshman class of 2025 had a blast at Camp Mustang in Carolina Creek. They had several days to enjoy some friendly competition and bond with their new classmates and community groups. They were led by upperclassmen counselors who met over the summer to train and plan the special and meaningful events that make Camp Mustang special. Our class of 2022 also enjoyed their special retreat to reconnect and center themselves as a class. They made plans for a fun and busy senior year and determined how they want to lead at HC in the coming year. This year we are also offering the sophomores a mini-retreat. They did not have the opportunity to connect last year as their freshman Camp Mustang was cancelled due to COVID. We are so grateful for parents who came together to ensure that all of our Mustangs will have opportunities to bond and build new friendships!

Mustang Alumni we missed visiting with you on campus last year! We are happy to share that you are welcome back on campus, if you have been invited by a member of our Faculty/Staff. Be sure to make time to plan ahead and reach out to your teachers and ask to speak to their class, or to catch up over coffee from the Uncommon Cup Café!
