I hope you all are having a great weekend. I had the pleasure of traveling with our band to Tampa, FL, to hear their performance. They were spectacular! Two universities thought they were a high school band. Well done to the band, Mr. Lynch, and Dr. Posey. 

This is a parent survey that HCS and ALSDE send out every year. It asks about the school's culture and climate. Your feedback is essential and helps us improve. Please take the time to fill it out. One of the first things I did last summer was read the survey results. These results truly show us how to steer the ship. I appreciate your time in completing this survey. Survey

This week, we are celebrating Kindness Week! Kindness Week is my favorite week of the entire school year. Below is a graphic of dress-up days. A small act of kindness can truly change the trajectory of someone's day. 

Curriculum Nights are HERE!! You all should have received course selection sheets this week if you have students currently in 6th or 7th grade. You all will come to our Curriculum Night on Tuesday night. Course selection sheets are due to your child's History teacher by Friday, Feb 27th.

Please scroll through this whole newsletter for updates. We appreciate everyone's continued support. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email or call me.

With Pride,
