SCHOOL NEWS

Welcome Back! We hope all of our HCS families had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

When exiting the school via the south exit, please stop at the stop sign before pulling out onto Lincoln Street. We have had numerous calls from neighbors who are unable to pull out of their driveway because the stop sign is not obeyed.
