We are thrilled to share that WCPSS has reconsidered and is reinstituting Summer Learning. We will resume with Track 3 on October 25. The missed session for Track 4 will be made up during their spring track out. If you no longer want your child to participate please email cmwoodlief@wcpss.net so we can afford another student the opportunity to attend.
State Honors Chorus:
Congratulations go out to 4 of our students that auditioned for the State Honors Chorus. All 4 of these students were selected. These young ladies will now take part in morning rehearsals that will culminate in a video taping for the virtual state honors chorus of North Carolina. Congratulations to:

Family Game Night:
It is time again to get those dancing shoes out, warm up those voices for karaoke, prepare your minds to "breakout" or hunt for an item in your house. It is the 2nd annual HES Virtual Game Night. Join us Thursday Oct 21st from 5:30-6:45 for another fun-filled family game night.
Grounds Maintenance:
A huge thank you goes out to the many families that came out on Friday September 24 to assist in beautifying our grounds. Two large mounds of mulch were spread and many trees/bushes were cut back. This work in addition to the new signs are all helping to make our school look more inviting. Thank you!
