Parents and Guardians,
On Friday, September 18th, Hoopeston Area High School students will participate in our state-mandated ALICE safety training.
ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate and provides students and staff with age-appropriate strategies and options to use in the event of an active threat.
The training will be conducted in a safe, age-appropriate, and instructional manner. Our goal is to help students understand what to do and how to respond during an emergency while ensuring they feel supported and prepared.
We appreciate your support as we continue to make student and staff safety a priority. If you have questions about the training, please contact the high school office.

2026 Homecoming Dance Information:
The HAHS Homecoming Dance is on Saturday, October 10th from 8:00 to 10:30 pm in the high school gym. Doors will close at 9 pm. The cost is $5 per person, and the money will be collected at the door (cash only). No tickets are sold ahead of time. All students attending the homecoming dance need to read the Homecoming Dance and Guidelines posted in the HS Office Google Classroom prior to the dance.

This is a reminder to all 9th and 12th-grade families that IL Physical and Immunization requirements are due by October 15th. This is an Illinois state law. If the proper paperwork is not turned in to the office by October 15th, your student will not be able to attend school beginning October 16th. Notifications have been sent home to those not in compliance.
🎤✨ A morning full of inspiration! ✨🎤
Our high school students had the opportunity to hear from David McCreary this morning, and what a powerful message he shared! ❤️
His message reminded us that the choices we make, the way we treat others, and the attitude we bring each day truly matter. Sometimes, a simple change in perspective can make a BIG difference.
We hope our students walked away feeling encouraged to believe in themselves, make good choices, overcome challenges, and be the best version of themselves. 💪🏼🌟
⚽🌽 GAME DAY! 🌽⚽
Cornjerkers vs. BHRA!
