Miracle Minute
|
On Thursday, HUHS held a "Miracle Minute" to collect as much money as possible in one minute to donate to an HUHS Family that lost their home in a house fire last week. In one minute, our school came together to raise $6025!! This is such a gracious act and one that will be very much appreciated by this family during this difficult time. A huge thank you goes out to Special Education Teacher Abby Bumgarner, her aide Nancy O'Rourke, and their students who coordinated all of the efforts in the "Miracle Minute" as well as collecting items for this family before the holidays.

2017 Senior Pictures
|
Click
here to see the list of Senior Pictures Received
.
The deadline is quickly approaching!
Senior Picture Requirements:
- Senior pictures are due JANUARY 6, 2017. If you have a photo that you would still like to submit after January 6, a $25 fee will occur.
- If a senior picture is not submitted, the Life Touch ID photograph will be used.
- Please email one digital file of your photograph to [email protected]. It must be at least 2x3 inches at 300dpi. If you cannot send a digital file, we can digitize it, but this will reduce the quality from the original. Please name your file with your last name, _ , then your first name (example: doe_john.jpg). File types can be .jpg or .tiff
- Photos must be vertical color prints, with no props, no pets, no hats, and have a simple background. Dress needs to be school appropriate. Remember, the pictures in our yearbook are small, so ideally the photo should show just the head and shoulders. We want to maximize your face size.
- Many local photographers have these deadlines and may the send the photo for you if you ask. Please understand that your photographer will need probably 6 weeks or more to get photos done. This means you should have your pictures taken by the middle of November to get them done with enough time to spare.
- We cannot accept prints from a Laser or inkjet home computer printer.
Any students who do not turn in senior pictures will have their HUHS school picture published in the yearbook.
If you have any questions, contact me, Ms. Jana Danay, yearbook adviser, at either
[email protected] or
[email protected]
. Please pass this information on to parents and photographers.
Thank you,

Student's in Corey McCauley's Automated Manufacturing class cut out holiday characters for photo opportunities for kids and families and in Ms. Kieckhaefer's Painting classes painted them all!

Some News from Activities & Athletics

Player of the Year - Abby Hamilton
|
Hartford Union junior Abby Hamilton has one goal for her final high
school season.
Inside the high school gymnasium, each varsity sport has its own banner hanging from the ceiling. Each banner lists conference championships won by the respective team.
The volleyball banner is empty.
"It's always been our goal to win a conference championship," Hartford coach Michelle Schueller said. "Our motto has been, 'Fill the banner.' "That's a lonely banner. It'll be interesting in the North Shore. They'll be some new teams and a new outlook."
If it were to happen, it would be one of the first conference titles for Hartford as a member of the North Shore Conference - a move that is made at the end of this academic year.
"Our team goal is to win conference,"
Hamilton said. "There
is nothing on our banner."
Hamilton will be a senior next season, her third as a leader of the Orioles. Her teammates
voted her captain when
she was a sophomore.
"I was shocked that the team trusted me enough and my abilities and skills to be a leader as a sophomore," Hamilton said. "Being a leader with others and the seniors was an honor."
Schueller added, "She leads not only by example, but she's always encouraging and positive on the court. The girls respect that."
