A huge thank you to all the parents and guardians who attended our last Parent-Teacher Conference of the year!

Your partnership and commitment to your child's education make all the difference. As we set our sights on the final two quarters, we are excited to continue working together and celebrating our students' successes.

Let’s finish the year strong!

While our 11th graders focused on their Pre-ACT exam, our 9th, 10th, and 12th graders had the opportunity to enjoy an awesome field trip to the Chicago Fire Pitch Stadium!

From exploring the stadium to being greeted by the energetic Sparky the Dalmatian, it was an unforgettable experience. They were also given tickets to the Chicago Fire Home Opener Game!

A big thank you to everyone who made this trip possible—what a fantastic way to balance academics and fun! 

Whoo hoo! Our Drama Club Did It Again!

On February 2nd, our K-4 Drama students took the stage and wowed us all with their Annual Show for families and friends! A huge thank you to Ms. Bearden and Ms. Kolevska for their dedication in bringing this amazing performance to life. Our students truly knocked our socks off!

But the excitement doesn’t stop here! Our Middle School Drama students are gearing up for their own production—Elf the Musical—coming this May. We can’t wait to see them shine!

This February, we had the privilege of celebrating National School Counselors Week, and we want to give a huge shoutout to our amazing counselors—Ms. Camacho, Ms. Fortman, and Ms. Imamovic!

Your dedication, support, and care for our students make such a positive impact every day.

Thank you for everything you do to help our students succeed and thrive. You rock!

We had the honor of celebrating an exciting milestone—100 days of school—with our elementary students!

It’s been an amazing journey so far, and our students are officially 100 days smarter! To mark the occasion, we hosted a fun parade, filled with energy and excitement.

Check out our social media accounts for more photos of the celebration and parade! Don’t miss out on the smiles and memories we created together. 

Our ACT Saturday School students had an amazing time at the Auto Show this month! It was important for them to have the chance to step out of the classroom and have a little fun, especially after all the hard work they've been putting in to prepare for the ACT.

Homemade Organic Soap

Check out the amazing handmade soaps from Ms. Korichi’s high school chemistry class!

Our chemistry students put their science skills to the test by crafting their very own unique bar soaps with soothing ingredients like jasmine, chamomile, lavender, and olive oil.

But that’s not all—they are introducing their exclusive HSA Soap! This special creation is 100% organic, free of harmful chemicals, and features a blend of olive oil, shea butter, organic vanilla beans, and a secret ingredient that replaces lye, making it extra gentle on the skin. With a perfect pH of 7, it’s a safer and healthier alternative to store-bought soaps, which can have pH levels as high as 12!

We are so proud of our students for combining science and creativity to make something both innovative and practical

This month’s alumni spotlight takes us to the “Heart of Dixie,” where we’re catching up with none other than William Zamudio, our Valedictorian from the Class of 2023 at HSA McKinley Park!

Since graduating, William has been busy riding the Crimson Tide as a Finance and Mathematics student at the University of Alabama, and his journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

William hasn’t just been cruising through college – he’s been making waves. Here’s a glimpse at what he’s accomplished so far:

• He’s made the president’s list every semester.
• He holds a perfect 4.0 GPA.
• He’s set to graduate this summer on August 2nd and is already planning for graduate school!

But it’s not all about academics for William. His passion for education and giving back to the community is at the heart of everything he does:

• He’s tutored international students in English.
• He’s taught financial literacy to formerly incarcerated men through a program at UA.
• He mentors students at Skyland Elementary and tutors at the Tuscaloosa Library.
• As a youth supervisor for DNOW, he’s been shaping the next generation of leaders.

And it doesn’t stop there – William is also deeply involved in campus life:

• He’s an active member of the Film Club, Crimson Cards, and Baptist Campus Ministries.
• He volunteers with the Women and Gender Resource Center and has contributed to emergency relief efforts through a local thrift operation.
• He’s helped a local community college organize their library collection digitally.

In addition to all of that, William found time to write for the New College Review, a magazine published by UA. Not only did he contribute as an editor, but he also wrote a four-page piece that included a two-page poem and a short story!

Looking ahead, William plans to return to Chicago for graduate school, where he aims to pursue a Master of Science in Finance or Economics.

William, we are so proud of all you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see what you achieve next. You’ve truly set the bar high for future generations!
