A big shoutout to all of our lower level athletes and coaches. It is so rewarding to see our younger athletes make progress over the course of the season. Our Freshman, Sophomore and JV athletes and coaches do an amazing job and are the lifeblood of every athletic program.
National Girls & Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) is Wednesday, February 5th. NGWSD began in 1987 as a special day to recognize women’s sports.

We will be sponsoring a breakfast on Wednesday at 7:15am in the student cafeteria for all female athletes, and coaches of female sports, to acknowledge the accomplishments of girls and women in sports, the positive influence of sports participation, and the importance for equality for women in sports.
Next Saturday, 2/8 is Hall of Fame Day. We will be inducting 5 new members to the HPHS Athletic Hall of Fame that day. There is a reception and ceremony starting at 2:30pm in the Student Cafeteria.
