Hello Huskies,

5 For Your Future is a school-wide initiative for all students. The 5 categories are: social emotional intelligence, financial literacy, global citizenship, college/career ready and active citizenship. Each grade level will have a session in the auditorium during advisory once a month to focus on one of five topics. Follow-up activities will then be disseminated through advisory for each of the topics throughout the year. To support this initiative, discuss the "5" topics with your son/daughter, encourage follow-up activities, and volunteer to assist with the implementation of this program. Upcoming dates: 9/27, 10/4 and 10/18 from 8:45-9:15am.  If interested in volunteering to support this program, contact Ms. Beaster at dbeaster@wcpss.net. 

We invite you to attend a Virtual HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) College Fair on Saturday, September 25, 2021 from 10:00 am-1:00 pm.

Senior Conferences are underway and continuing through October 8.  Seniors are encouraged to bring their completed senior info sheets and any questions they may have to their meeting.  ALL seniors will receive individual planning time with their counselor in order to accomplish necessary tasks for post high school transition.  Encourage your senior(s) to complete this survey bit.ly/HHSSeniorMeeting2022.  Throughout the month of September, Dr. Tate will meet with all 9^th graders to familiarize students with available school resources to support a strong start to high school success.
