ACTIVITY TICKET: The purchase of the 24-25 yearbook is tied to the purchase of an activity ticket bundle! Now is the time to make this purchase before HPHS places their order with our yearbook publisher. You will find the purchase link in the Infinite Campus School Store. Activity Ticket purchases fund the entire student activities program. This bundle includes a yearbook, free admission to athletic events and free admission to student-directed fine arts events (STUNTS & the Short Play Festival) using a student ID. An activity ticket purchase also supports our school's literary magazine, school media/newspaper, all theater productions, assemblies, and all-school special activities. Yearbooks are part of the Activity Ticket bundle and are not sold separately. Students must go to the bookstore to redeem their free theater tickets. Of course this purchase is optional, however we do not order extra yearbooks to sell once they arrive. You can set up a cash payment plan in the bookstore if needed.   

A FRAM discount (students enrolled in the free book program) is available when you go to make your purchase in Infinite Campus. The cost is $50. For more information, please contact Norma Aguilar, nagular@dist113.org .

The Giants Varsity Hockey Team: HUGE week for the HP Varsity Hockey Team as they pick up 2 big league wins to improve their record to 5-3 in league play (only 4 points out of 1st)! On Wednesday night, the Giants got 2 first period goals from Casey Rategan and the Game-Winning-Goal by Dylan Lansky with under 2 minutes remaining in the contest for the strong 3-2 Win! Charlie Cohen recorded 2 assists on defense and goalie AJ Caplan was again solid in net making 34 saves. Then on Sunday night, the Giants played, perhaps, their best game of the young season, dominating perennial rival Prep with a 6-3 Victory at CIA. HP played a complete game while overpowering the #2 ranked Prep squad with 6 different goal scorers. Andrew Schneiderman, Noah Engle, Reece Mindel, Dylan Lansky, Casey Rategan, and Trey Raposo all tallied in the game. Quite a recipe for success as the young Giants continue to improve! AJC with another W in goal blocking 23 shots. They look to carry that momentum into this week as they take on New Trier Thursday night at home. 9pm puck drop. See you there!
