Welcome back to our HP Band from their beautiful trip to Austria! See photos

Most of our teams did not compete over the Spring Break, but a few did and made some unbelievable memories.

1. HP Baseball traveled to Orlando, Florida and went 5-0 playing teams from all over the country. Multiple players stepped up to help the team be successful. The team modeled the quote - “It’s amazing what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit.” Our varsity reserves/JV players also got a chance to play some games in the warm weather. Thank you to our coaches who committed their Spring Break to planning and overseeing this experience and to our families for their support of the trip. 
2. Boys Track & Field was also in action at the Illinois Indoor Championships in Chicago. Senior Dylan Dominguez set a new indoor school record in the 3200m and finished 7th.  Junior Shamar Wilson set school records in the 60m dash and in the 200m. Shamar finished 4th overall in the 60m. Congratulations to both athletes on qualifying for this prestigious event.
3. Boys Water Polo had a busy break hosting a JV Invite on the first Saturday of break and participating in the Maine East Varsity Invite yesterday. The Varsity team went 1-2 and got a very strong effort all day from Brody Schultz. Peter Trakas and Nathan Peterson also stepped up in big ways to help the team.

A Giant thank you to our security and maintenance teams for their hard work over break. We accomplished multiple projects around the school and their commitment to being great teammates ensured the week ran smoothly. We could not do what we do as a school without their willingness to step up when called upon. Thank you!
