Campus Life for 5-8th grades will begin Friday, August 20 and meet every Friday after school until 5:00pm in the cafeteria. Campus Life is a positive place where students can have fun with friends, talk about relevant issues, and be heard without judgment. It’s a place where you will be challenged to make good decisions and lead in a positive way here at HHMS.

Good luck to any of our Jaguars that perform or play this evening.

Remember that there are three things that YOU can control: your attitude, your actions, and your effort. Give it your best! Have a great afternoon.
