Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month

National Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15, a dedicated time when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans to the United States and celebrate the group’s heritage and culture. The theme of this year’s observance is “Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation,” which challenges us to ensure that all voices are represented and welcomed to help build stronger communities and a stronger nation. Our Hispanic and Latinx students and staff bring enormous assets to our classrooms and schools. Their diverse perspectives and voices will help us build a stronger HSD community. We encourage everyone to continue the celebration of Hispanic and Latinx Americans all year long...READ MORE 

Featured Event: First Days of School

Our first days of school were amazing and decidedly the most “normal” we’ve had in three years. Students, staff, and families alike were buzzing with excitement and hopeful anticipation as they embarked upon the new year. Our staff was out at several schools taking photos, and many of you shared pictures of your students with us - thank you! Check out the gallery of images on our website and let’s keep this positive momentum going all year long! #ProudToBeHSD!
