Please join us this Wednesday for our college planning kickoff event for the Class of 2024, the HHS GPA Game. This event will be held virtually via Zoom on Wednesday, December 7th, at 5:00 p.m. and is expected to last roughly 45-60 minutes. A recording will be made available afterwards. A link will be sent out prior to the event. Although this event is geared towards parent(s)/guardian(s) of juniors, all (including students) are invited to attend.  The GPA Game is a fun, mock-admission simulation for students and their families. The purpose of the game is to create awareness of the many factors that are considered in the college admissions process. We will also share a college-planning checklist with suggestions of what your student should be completing at points throughout the process.  If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's counselor. We hope to "see" you all on Zoom this Wednesday, December 7th.
