We The People
|
We The People District Competition-Wauwatosa West
The (mostly) Sophomores in AP Government are continuing to help foster an academic culture here at HUHS. All of them spent their Monday evening having small-group interactions with historians, attorneys, and academicians about constitutional law.
It is the type of experience they might not have again until they are deep into their collegiate life, and they were impressively poised in answering very challenging, direct questions.
Half of the HUHS students have qualified for the We The People State Competition being held in Madison on
January 6th. Stay tuned and Congratulations!
*A special note of appreciation for Zack Weddig, Bill Priegel, Michelle Yu, Amanda Christian, Bill Greymont, and Pete Kelly for travelling to Tosa West and helping serve as judges on a
Monday night. Thank you for devoting your time to the academic efforts of our top students.

ACT TESTING - 2017-18
All students considering a two or four-year college experience are reminded to take the ACT test during their junior year. Students can register for the ACT at
www.actstudent.org. When registering, students will need the HUHS school code, which is 500-850. Please remember to check the website to see if the college(s) your son or daughter is considering requires or recommends the ACT writing test. The test fee for the ACT is $46.00 and the ACT with writing is $62.50. If you feel you cannot afford the test fee, please ask your child's counselor if you are eligible for a fee waiver.
HUHS is an ACT test center for all testing dates (except February 10). The test dates for the 2017-2018 school year are:
February 10, 2018
April 14, 2018 June 9, 2018 July 14, 2018
Note: Please keep in mind all juniors are required by state law to take the ACT at the high school on February 27 (no cost to the student on February 27). When considering whether or not to sign up to take the February 10 or April 14 ACT, it may be best for students to take the February 27 test, then decide whether or not to retake the test in June or July based upon February results.

COLLEGE APPLICATION TIP
Save the speech. Tell the tale. No need to stress out about the college application essay or be nervous if you think of it as a conversation or a story about yourself. You aren't giving a speech to thousands of people but someone in the Admissions Office who really wants to hear it! The essay is a story that means something to you and if you are able to convey that meaning to Admissions, you've done the job.
If you'd like help with your college essay, Mrs. Carter or Mr. Dobberstein are available in the Writing Center during 5th and 6th period. Mr. Schliewe is available during Resource on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in Room 84. All three are English teachers.

| Orioles Fly High in OT |
All that mattered was overtime. It didn't matter that West Bend West led Hartford Union by 10 at halftime. Or that the Orioles erased that deficit midway through the second half and hung on to force the extra frame. Everything came down to the last five minutes. Hartford Union had enough left in the gas tank and earned the 67-65 North Shore Conference road victory Tuesday. Cody Diermeier made a jump hook in the lane with 2 minutes, 15 seconds left in overtime to put West up 64-62. Hartford's Jadon Melvin then hit a 3-pointer for a 65-64 edge. West's Evan Albrecht made 1-of-2 free throws with 35 seconds left to tie the game at 65. The difference came down to one free throw that Hartford made on two consecutive trips to the line. Zach Brewer, who was playing his first varsity game, made 1-of-2 with 17.4 seconds left. Then Josh Much made the front end of two shots with three seconds left. A West rebound on Much's second attempt and outlet pass to Albrecht followed. Albrecht heaved the ball three-fourths of the court, and the ball grazed the front of the rim. "This loss hurts," West coach Todd Pyszora said. West led the entire first half, hitting the game's first basket one minute after tipoff. Click here to read the full article.

North Shore Conference Relays
|
Combine a night of relays with the energy of a full conference of boys swim teams just days before Christmas break, and you're certain to have an exciting meet. Despite having to scratch two relays due to illness and having no diving entry, Hartford-Slinger finished the meet in 4th place, outscoring traditionally strong Northshore teams.
As the meet began, our fast four (Jeromy, Santo, Cory, Jordan) continued their dominance in the 4x100 Medley Relay with a first place win 4 seconds faster than 2nd place Grafton (last year's Conference champs). Two races later, Jeromy, Jordan, Quinn, and Santo took 1st again in the punishing 4x200 Free Relay, winning over top-ranked Whitefish Bay by 2.3 seconds. The fast four took 2nd in the Crescendo Relay (50-100-150-200 Free), narrowly losing to West Bend's Fitzgerald in the last 50 of the last 200.
We saw nice 4th place finishes in the 4x25 Medley Relay (Adam, Robbie, Alex, Brendan), 300 Breaststroke Relay (Zach, Roberto, Robbie, Quinn), and 300 Butterfly Relay (Logan, Alex, Evan, Cory).
