Dear Families,

As the days grow longer and the warmth of the sun fills the air, there's a palpable sense of joy and anticipation for the summer ahead! It's wonderful to witness our students embracing this beautiful weather, bringing an extra spark to their daily learning. Even with the understandable end-of-year fatigue, the energizing sunshine has truly given us a boost! From the Physics field trip to Great America to Senior Night for our Athletic Teams, our students are actively participating and making the most of every day.

We are so proud of their continued enthusiasm and commitment, and we know you are too. Let's carry this positive momentum through the final stretch, celebrating their achievements and the joy of learning in these brighter days.

Thank you for sharing your students with us today and beyond,



Holly

ATHLETICS

Athletes from the Central Suburban League came together for a leadership workshop centered on inclusivity at Niles North High School last week and District 113 was well represented. We are proud to be a part of this mission and look forward to seeing our Giant athletes and coaches use what they learned to make a difference at HPHS.

HPHS student-athletes who will be continuing their athletic careers at the collegiate level will be honored at a ceremony on Friday, May 9th at 7:15am in the Exhibition Gym.
