Last week, students in Mrs. Lee’s 8th grade honors ELA class wrote letters to participate in the “Snail Mail Relay.” After receiving a letter from a student in Utah, these HAMS students researched middle schools in other states and wrote letters, in hopes to receive letters from students across the country. Letters were written to Florida, California, Hawaii, and all points in between. We can’t wait to see what we receive!

The High School will be holding a Scheduling Fair for all incoming freshmen on February 8th from 6:00-7:00 pm in the HS cafeteria.

Each department will have a table set up with information for parents and students about what classes they teach and will be available to answer questions. Extracurricular and club coaches and sponsors will also be in attendance to share information about their programs. This night's purpose is to give parents and students an opportunity to get a better idea of course offerings for when students begin signing up for classes in the spring to get their schedules set for the next school year.
