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

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.

Boys Swimming Senior Night
|
 It all came down to one race. Team scores within 2 points of each other. Despite Hartford-Slinger's wins in 8 of 10 events, 2nd place in 3, it was a night where one illness and 2 races lost by hundredths of a second left the meet in the balance. And not just the meet, but likely also 3rd place standing in North Shore Conference boys swimming. Two relay entries from each team. A winner-takes-all 400 Relay is always intense - but none can compare to
tonight. The options: win, lose, or tie.
In front of a wild Senior Night crowd, the OriOwl A Relay (Santo, Jeromy, Cory, Jordan) took the lead in the first leg and expanded it steadily to a 7.82 second win. All eyes turned to Homestead and Hartford-Slinger's B Relays. Evan attacked Homestead's lead and finished the 3rd leg with the teams now neck-and-neck. The entire BirdBath crowd was on its feet, pouring its energy into the pool through screaming cheers. We came up short by .37 seconds, but it wasn't for lack of effort.
An 85-85 tie with Homestead only happened because of 26 best times across the team and these wins:
1st in Medley and 400 Free Relay (Jeromy, Santo, Cory, Jordan)
Santiago - 1st 200 & 500 Free
Jeromy - 1st 200 IM & 100 Free
Logan - 2nd 500 Free & 3rd 200 IM
Jordan - 1st 50 Free & 2nd 50 Free
Cory - 1st 100 Fly & 2nd 100 Back
Quinn - 1st 100 Breaststroke
What a way to celebrate our Seniors

OriOwls Fast Swims at Fond du Lac Invite
|
Whether it's that time in the season, or the pool, or the make-up of competing teams, or a combination of all three, the Fondy Memorial Invite is always one of the best meets of the season. Today was no exception, as the boys built on winning energy and cheered each other on to 7 medal-scoring races, 60% best individual times (including 11 lifetime bests), and 2 best relay times. The 400 Free Relay, at 3:25.68, is within 1 second of last year's state qualifying time.
The top scoring swims came from
Santiago's 2nd place 200 Free & 6th place 100 Breaststroke
Jordan's 3rd place 100 Free & 5th place Free (both LTBs)
Cory's 6th place 100 Fly (LTB) & 10th place 100 Back (SB)
6th place 200 Medley Relay (Jeromy, Santiago, Cory, Jordan) (SB)
6th place 400 Free Relay (Jeromy, Jordan, Cory, Jordan) (SB)
Jeromy's 8th place 100 FR (LTB)
We also saw best times from Zach Michalak & Adam Marx (100% LTB), Roberto Barrera & Evan Staton (75% LTB), Robbie Wolff, Alex Hall, Bobby Klockow, Logan DeBack, & Tate Stoeckmann.
**LTB = lifetime best
SB = Season's Best
