We have another state championship at HPHS. This time it’s in Boys Tennis. Congratulations to the doubles pair of Evan Glebov and Blake Gold who finished as IHSA Class 2A State Champions. The duo defeated the top seeded team from New Trier in the finals on Saturday at Palatine High School. Andrew Arzac and Andrew Rosenfeld also played well at the state finals, helping the Giants Tennis Program to a 7th place finish overall.

We had some big highlights from our Boys Track & Field Program this weekend as well. Congratulations to Doug Anderson, Barak Goldstein, Brian Hatoum, Lukaas Nales, Robert Oboza, and Nate Wehner, as well as alternates, Alex Bradshaw, Zach Coren, and Noah Jackson. All of these individuals proudly represented HPHS at the Boys State Track & Field Championship Meet at Eastern Illinois University. Special Shoutout to Doug Anderson who finished in 6th place in the state of Illinois in the 400m run.

We hosted almost 500 competitions this year across all of our sports programs. A big thank you to our custodial and maintenance department, security staff, event workers and transportation department for their efforts throughout the entire school year.
