Testing The Waters - PLTW
PLTW Year 4 (Biomedical Innovation) students are "testing the waters" in class. These students have been investigating a simulated outbreak and are using coliform detection broth to find the culprit. Students have also brought in their own samples from home, including ponds and wells, to look for the same types of bacteria. Coliforms will turn the broth green, while E. coli will also cause it to fluoresce under a UV light. The presence of E.coli is then confirmed with an indole test. Students also completed a battery of chemical tests to identify the presence of various chemicals, including phosphates, nitrates, iron, chromium, and many others. Next up is to identify the bacterial strain using genetic information in the lab.  

Senior Seminar Communications Studies
Students in Senior Seminar Communications Studies applied interpersonal, nonverbal, and vocal delivery skills to an authentic audience by visiting Lincoln Elementary and performing children's books to kindergarten and 1st grade students.  Thanks to Lincoln Elementary reading specialist Nicole Gallow and Principal Hanlon for coordinating a worthwhile and successful activity. 

Residential Construction Classes
Students in the three Residential Construction classes have the great opportunity to work with John Lonergan and Jeff Jilling to build a garage for the Erin School District.  The project is expected to last about 4 weeks depending on weather.

Orchestra Community Performances
The HUHS orchestra students have been hard at work preparing for their 5/23 concert as well as sharing music with others around the community. Attached are photos from the events. 

Orchestra students traveled to The Gardens of Hartford on 5/4 as a way to bring music to those who might not be able to come to a concert at HUHS. The music was well received by the residents, guests, and staff. 

On 5/8 students in the Chamber String Ensemble performed for the Elevate, Inc. annual dinner at West Bend Mutual Insurance. This is the second year HUHS orchestra students have been part of this fabulous event and we thank Elevate Inc. for the invitation to perform, their hospitality, and for their support of the community.

Rotary Host Families Needed for 2018-2019 
Hartford Rotary's next inbound exchange student will arrive in late August, and be with us, and be a student at Hartford High, until early summer 2019.  We will be lucky to host 17 year old Monika Adamczyk from Chelm in eastern Poland.  Besides being fluent in English she is competent in Spanish.  We would like to get commitments from three families in the Hartford area, each to host her for 3 to 4 month.  Rotary pays a monthly stipend to help Monika have some spending money, and the school chips in with lunch money.  Ask your family if they would like to have this fun and educational opportunity, while providing Monika with the same  opportunities.as other young adults in the home.  

Monika is now a sophomore at a Lyceum in Chelm, which is near the Ukrainian border.  She is the only youngster at home weekdays, and her studies emphasize chemistry, biology, Spanish, English and Polish language and literature.  Her older sister studies in Wroclaw and is home weekends.  The sisters get along well and with their parents emphasize the outdoors with hiking, biking and sailing.  She thinks she might like to study dentistry or orthodontology in college, but thinks a year in the US will open up other opportunities for careers related to medicine.  She's fine with household chores, says she is neat and tidy, but isn't into cooking.   She will be a great addition to any receptive family in the area.

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.


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.  The test dates for the 2017-2018 school year are:
 
June 9, 2018                                     July 14, 2018
Athletics and Activities
Hartford Girls Soccer Scores Eight in Victory
Hartford Union rebounded from consecutive losses in a big way  Friday, scoring eight goals against Martin Luther in an 8-0 tournament win at New Berlin West. 
The Orioles (4-2-1) got a first-half hat trick from Maddie Hoxworth and two goals from Maddy Sieczkowski in the second half. Nikki Kern, Savannah Ott and Mya Tomashek each added a tally.  "I am really proud of Hoxworth finding the net multiple times and a few new goal scorers getting in the book tonight as well," coach Kevin Martin said. "We needed to be better with our vision of the field and our first touch tonight, but I am pleased with the efforts going toward the goal. We need to use this confidence moving forward as we wrap up the New Berlin West Tournament (today), play two tough North Shore Conference  games next week and end next week with two very tough sectional opponents in Germantown and Kimberly."  Hoxworth, Ott and Tomashek each recorded assists, as did Olivia Carroll, Sheyenne Detaege, Abby Gastrau and Kayla Okla.  
Hartford Baseball Sweeps CMH
Hartford Union earned a season sweep over Division 2 top-ranked Catholic Memorial with a 9-6 Classic 8 victory MondayThe Orioles scored four runs in the top of the third for a 4-1 edge. CMH then scored two in its half to pull within a run. Hartford added five runs in the fourth and led 9-2 at that point. "We battled," Hartford coach Eric Vanden Acker said. "CMH got to within one and we responded with a five-run inning to bust it open." Scott Savage led the Hartford offense with three hits. He had two doubles and an RBI. Zach Braun had a pair of two-run singles to finish with four RBIs. Myles Zimdars was 1 for 3 with a double, sacrifice fly and three RBIs. Zach Lutz earned the win on the mound.
