We are excited to share with you our monthly Career Speaker Series that begins this January 26th!

Below is a list of recordings from the College Application Bootcamp. They have lots of very good information (especially if you learn best by watching videos!) The Nuts and Bolts of the College Application Process  - this session has been offered for the past 3 years to parents only.

In order to make this happen, students need to complete a  Transcript Request Form  15 school days in advance of the deadline. General HHS information (class size, GPA information, etc.) can be found here . We are enjoying virtual visits with many students and their families. Please don't hesitate to set up a convenient time to meet using the links on the bottom of the m...
