Young actors with the HSSD Thespians group attended the 2019 Arkansas State Thespian Festival at Russellville High School earlier this month. The Thespian Festival is a chance for young actors to come together and compete against other students from all over the state. #HSSD students attended workshops about overcoming performance anxiety, building a character in a song, acting a song, stage combat, tap dance, broadway dancing, and more. Mrs. Lauren McClendon says - "They had the wonderful opportunity to feel the positive energy of other performers!"

This week’s shout out goes to our wonderful HSSD Counselors, who work at each of our schools to ensure the academic goals, social/personal development, and even career development opportunities are identified and met by students. We deeply appreciate all that you do: Denise Ludlow, Angela Millard, Cheryl Stafford, Jerry Scroggins, Renee Tester, Leslie Whalen, Katelyn Walker, Amy Snider, Brittany George, and Dawn Anderson. You all truly help to make HSSD “A Place for Everyone.” I also want to share a shout out from a guest from the EAST Initiative Phase Training Team, who recently visited our HSJA EAST Classroom and had glowing remarks.
