From Football Head Coach, Coach MacDonald:
"On Wednesday April 19th there will be a mandatory meeting at 6pm in the HS auditorium for parents of athletes planning on participating in football for the upcoming 2023 Hoopeston Area/Armstrong Potomac High School football season. There will be important information given for summer activities leading into the fall season. If unable to attend, please email Coach MacDonald at macdoncp@hoopeston.k12.il.us to set up a time he can meet with you. Parents of Armstrong-Potomac athletes will have a separate meeting that is scheduled for a later date this month so there is no need to attend this meeting. Go Cornjerkers!"

HAHS Parents,
This morning during 2nd Hour, the school was put into a soft lockdown as the Sherrif's Department came to do a walk-through of our campus with their drug dogs. During the soft lockdown, students remained working in their 2nd Hour classes. I am pleased to report that HAHS was found to be a drug-free campus, and students are now back in their 3rd Hr classes and continuing their day.

Tonight the HS performed the musical "Bye, Bye Birdie" All performers did a great job! #CornjerkerPride





Today was the Vermilion County Art Show hosted at Georgetown Ridge-Farm HS. Students from schools across the county submitted art projects for the event. Hoopeston Area High School was very well represented with some amazing art submissions from our students! #CornjerkerPride
