"It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a team of devoted teachers, administrators, librarians, and support staff to educate them."📚🍎
Before we say goodbye to another week & hello to the weekend, we MUST take a moment to celebrate our phenomenal assistant principals, Ms. Daniels & Mr. Ohler. We appreciate your tireless efforts to encourage teachers, motivate students, support Mr. Hudson, create a positive learning community, and face the many unpredictable challenges that land on your desk with great professionalism. We are proud to have you lead us in Titan Town. Happy AP Week!

Congratulations to Mr. Zachary Rudisin on your most recent, and well deserved, accomplishment. Similar to steel's impact on a building, your teaching talents, photography gifts, and coaching skills all help provide a strong foundation for our students and staff here at HTHS.
