Fifteen HUHS students traveled to West Bend on Wednesday as part of the Dream To Succeed Latino High School Career Readiness Program.

The students were engaged throughout the experience and asked terrific questions. Thank you to UW-Washington County and Moraine Park Technical College for hosting us, and to Casa Guadalupe for sponsoring the trip!
The following message was received from the Dream to Succeed Coordinator:
On behalf of Dream to Succeed Latino High School Readiness Program staff and volunteer, Maria Gutierrez, Rachel Straus, and myself, I wish to again thank all the program collaborators who helped make this educational tour of University of Washington County and Moraine Park Technical College a success. It was a pleasure to work with Hartford Union High School students and Michael Schmidt, Guidance Counselor this year. We at Casa Guadalupe Education Center look forward to continuing success in the upcoming year.

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.

Orioles Score Four Late for 5-1 Win
|
HARTFORD - Briel Burg said it had been a while since she "had a good, decent hit." On Wednesday, she got hold of a Maddie Blankenship offering and blasted a two-run home run, which helped spark the Orioles in a 5-1 North Shore Conference win against West Bend East. She hit the ball so hard, it cracked. Burg's smash broke a 1-1 tie and led Hartford (11-8, 9-7) to its fourth win in five games. "I just went in wanting to hit the ball," Burg said. "That felt good - I wasn't thinking about anything. Just let my hands go." The homer in the bottom of the fourth inning came with Elizabeth Groonwald on base. Groonwald later drove in a run - Maci Meyer - with a fielder's choice in the fifth for a 4-1 advantage. Two batters later, Grace Schmitt singled up the middle to plate Cady Uttech for the final score. Click here to read the full article. Click

North Shore Conference Track & Field Championships
|
Hartford senior Alyx Evans came in second after Groves, and was part of one of the meet's biggest surprises early on. The Orioles' 3,200 relay team was seeded sixth based on time, but exceeded all expectations when Evans, the anchor leg, crossed the finish line ahead of every other team's final leg.
"I wasn't expecting it," Evans said. "Our coach (Nathan Depagter) was like 'Just run to get a medal.' Next thing you know, we're in second and I push us into first. I was like 'OK. We did that.'" Evans got the baton from Courtney Kind, who pushed the team into second place with her third leg performance.
Rachel Zuern was the opening leg, and Sarah Becker followed.
"I was really happy we did so well, because I wasn't expecting anything," Zuern said. "I knew we'd do well, because we just told each other to do our best and good things would come." D
epagter had a goal time in mind - 10:10. The group broke it by 0.37 seconds. "I gave them a benchmark to shoot for, I gave them individual times," he said. "They did exactly what they had to do, and did better than I asked them to do. I was really impressed - they went out and won it. Can't ask for anything better than that."
