| Principal Dan Dobner named HUHS Educator of the Year |
In today's Daily News:
HARTFORD - Early in life, Hartford Union High School Principal Dan Dobner never thought he would have a a career in education. Earlier this week the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater grad was named HUHS Educator of the Year. It's funny how lives can move in different directions than expected.
Dobner said he was humbled when he learned he was to receive the award.
"It was a surprise for me - a wonderful surprise," he said.
Dobner said the best part of working at HUHS is watching students grow.
"We see the kids mature in their formative years - from a 14-yearold to an adult," Dobner said. "The transition that some kids make, given the circumstances some have in their every day lives, is amazing."
Dobner believes the biggest reward he receives from working at the school is talking to returning graduates that he's guided over the years and hears how he helped them with an issue - big or small. Dobner said the public doesn't know the stories behind students who succeed and have tough outside lives and difficult backgrounds.
"For some of those kids I know very well what they've had to deal with," Dobner said. "Probably the most rewarding thing is knowing those kids that had major challenges outside school and come here everyday, work hard and graduate. People don't know
the backstory."
HUHS Superintendent Attila Weninger said Dobner deserves the award.
"Dan has served HUHS for over 15 years, most of those as principal and this award represents his commitment
and dedication to the high
school," Weninger said.
Administrators and staff
believe the school is fortunate to have Dobner as principal.
"I always know he has my safety and, more importantly, the safety of the students and staff as his first priority," said HUHS Health Technician Laurell Scholz. Click here to read the full article.

MAY 2 SCHEDULE FOR STUDENTS
|
Freshmen and Sophomores: will be taking the state-mandated ACT Aspire test on
May 2nd. Students are expected to report at
7:25 like a normal day. The ACT Aspire will be done on students' laptops.
Juniors:
On Wednesday, May 2, our junior class will experience the event "Focus On Connections". The juniors will spend half of their day touring local businesses, and the other half simulating a
month of financial responsibilities of their future 27 year old self. This simulation represents a reality check in the time of life when they would be 10 years out of high school. The juniors chose a career, as well as how many children they will have. They take their given salary and work their way through "stations", set up in our field house, of life financial needs and choices, such as housing, transportation, insurance, utility/medical bills, recreation expenses, etc. To top off this great event, our Culinary III students prepare a delicious lunch for our community volunteers.
Opposite our Focus on Connections event is the junior business tours. We are fortunate to have several different Hartford and West Bend businesses volunteer to host our students for the other half of their day. UW-Washington County & Moraine Park Technical College are also providing tours. All juniors will be at the high school for their lunch and all will be back by 2:40 to ride the bus home. All tours will have HUHS staff accompanying the students at all times. While it is impossible to set up business tours for every career area that students are interested in, the local businesses will discuss all of the various career areas they offer as well as general employer expectations.
It is an exciting day and a fantastic experience for the junior class!
Just a reminder that BOTH of these events are part of the Financial Literacy graduation requirement.
Seniors:
Do not need to report to school on May 2

French Trip
|
On March 23, 2018 nine French students and two teachers left to participate in the 10 day partnership-exchange program between HUHS and the Lycee Jean-Henri Fabre in Carpentras, Provence, France. This is our 10th year participating in this partnership. The HUHS students were hosted by students at Fabre who will in turn be coming to stay in with families in the HUHS district in October 2018. While in the south of France, the students attended classes with their French hosts, toured the city of Carpentras, visited the picturesque Gordes and ocre-tinted landscape around Roussillon and visited the Abbey of Senanque. They also had the opportunity to visit Avignon and the Palace of the Popes, and Cassis for a boat ride on a turbulent Mediterranean Sea. The final stop was to France's second largest city - Marseille for a brief visit. The week with their partners passed far too quickly and some awesome friendships were begun in the short week they spent together.
After the stay with their hosts, the group traveled to Paris to visit as many of the major landmarks as could be fit into three days. We managed to visit: The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre museum, the Orsay museum, Notre Dame cathedral, Sainte Chapelle cathedral and Sacre Coeur basilica. They also took in a boat ride on the Seine river, toured the catacombs under the city, visited the Opera Garnier (think Phantom of the Opera), visited the Arch of Triumph and the Champs-Elysees (main avenue), and the Concorde square. There was also time to do a bit of shopping in France's most renowned department store the Galleries LaFayettes. Everyone made it home again very tired but with memories that will last a lifetime.

#TryDayFriday
|
Starting Friday, April 27th, students can try chef-made samples of new recipes in the cafeteria. HUHS's Foodservice Department has started a campaign to give select menu items an upgrade by focusing on minimally processed, locally sourced, clean label ingredients. The Foodservice Department is partnering with chefs from Sustainable Kitchens, a Milwaukee based company who work with schools, hospitals, and other large kitchens to do more scratch cooking with locally sourced ingredients. Every Friday during resource hour, chefs will have a table with samples for students to try free of charge, as long as they to fill out a survey afterwards. If the samples are popular, the menu items will be served during regular lunch periods. The sample sessions will run through May.

UW Campus Regional Placement Testing
Senior students who have been admitted to a UW campus are invited to participate in Regional Placement Testing. As a result of taking the tests, students find out their appropriate level of math, English, and foreign language to begin in college.
Students can register online for Regional Placement Testing, beginning February 1. The benefit of Regional Placement Testing is that students can take the test close to where they live, and they don't need to travel to the campus that they'd like to attend. Also, students need register for only one placement test even if they have been admitted to different UW campuses, or if they change their mind about which UW campus to attend. All UW campuses have access to each student's scores.

Early College Credit Program (ECCP)
The 2017-19 State of Wisconsin Biennial Budget included new language regarding high school students who take courses for college credit. The budget combines the Course Options and Youth Options programs into a single new program called the Early College Credit Program (ECCP).
High school students at public and private high schools may be permitted to enroll in a UW System institution, or an alternative private, non-profit institution of higher education to take courses to earn high school credit, post-secondary credit, or both. Course costs are shared among the school district/private school and the state (and in some cases, the student's family).
Students in grades
9-12 may be eligible to take courses during the fall, spring, or summer semesters. Students may submit their completed forms to school officials by
March 1 for summer/fall semester - or
October 1for spring semester.
For more information, contact your child's counselor.
