Paraprofessionals play a critical role in inclusive education—providing individualized support, facilitating classroom management, and partnering with teachers to improve outcomes.

Teacher Appreciation Week Donation Requests: We are planning a decade-themed teacher appreciation week. For the 1950's, we are doing root beer floats.

Recently, the HHMS Library Drama Club performed a Reader’s Theater of Peter Pan for Kids by J.M. Barrie, creatively modified by Brendan P. Kelso. The HHMS Library Drama Club meets once a month for approximately twenty minutes. The students learn how to audition for roles, get into character, practice reading with expression and clarity, be team players, as well as just have fun with acting!
