• MESSAGE FROM VICE PRINCIPAL TATE
  Dear Parents and Students,
  As we come to the end of the 2024-25 school year, I need to make you aware of a growing trend in schools and the serious consequences that come with this trend.
  Students across the country have begun putting pencil lead and sharp metal objects in the charging ports of Chromebooks. This will cause the Chromebooks to overheat and smoke. In some cases, the Chromebooks have exploded and caught on fire leading to evacuations and injuries. Participating in this type of willful destruction of school property is in direct violation of the WCSD Safe School Policy and may lead to suspension, the cost of repairs, and referral to the HCPD for vandalism. Please have a conversation with your students to ensure they do not engage in these activities.

  Boys interested in trying out for the HHS Golf team, please check out the following
  information and adhere to the following expectations for this summer as per HHS
  1. You need to play at least ten 9 hole rounds this summer. Each round needs to be
  played and verified with someone on the golf team from this year or an adult. This will help me make a decision along with your tryout scores.
  2. Tryouts this year will be held August 4th and 5th. You will need to be at Sky Mountain Golf Course at 6:00 am on the 4th. Please bring your score cards in an envelope or a large zip lock bag. Make sure your names are on all the scorecards and signed by the person you played with to verify the score. After collecting the score cards for the first 9 hole round on the 4th, I will make a cut if necessary and pair you for the next day.
  3. All kids that will be trying out will need to email me or text me your full name, phone #, Shirt and short size. This applies to everyone! Even if you were on the team last year.
  I need to update your info. Also if you don’t email me or text me you will not be on the list to golf at Sky Mountain. Remember this is a privilege to hit range balls and play golf for free. If you do not obey the golf course rules you will lose your privileges. This means you can take advantage of these privileges, not all your buddies!

  4. All boys that will be trying out also need to register on Aktivate. Please go to the
  following link to register for the 2025-26 season. You must upload the following: A
  current health physical examination and a birth certificate (for Freshman and those that didn’t play a sport). This must be done before you can try out.
  5. I will be holding a meeting in June sometime to go over any extra info I have and make sure everybody is on track and understanding what’s going on. Once I have this date locked down I will send it out in a text group. So make sure you send me a good phone number to get this info to you Work hard and enjoy the game! My Phone # is 435-680-0305. My email address is moc.oohay@nioitcurtsnocsorbyelsroh. Please text me with any questions. Thank you!
