Request for Donations to support our HB Multilingual Students: At HB, we are proud to support a group of students identified as Multilingual Learners.  ML Learners are students who are developing proficiency in more than one language.  These hardworking students often do not receive the recognition they deserve for their academic achievements.  

In February, they will take the annual English language proficiency assessment, the WIDA ACCESS Test, which measures their English language proficiency.  Students are required to take this assessment each year until they earn a proficiency score of 4.7

We would love to honor and celebrate our ML Learners’ dedication and perseverance by providing incentives during the testing period.  If you are able to help, please review the signup genius link here for available slots and click the sign up button.   We are requesting gift cards valued at $20.  The signup genius asks for donations by Feb 12.  This request is going out late, so we are hoping to collect it as soon as possible.  Thank you.

 HB Wrestling Results: Big-time shoutout to our HB Wrestling Team for an absolutely incredible season! The Warriors went undefeated and dominated the district tournament, sending 13 finalists to the mats and coming home with 10 district champions.

Special recognition goes to Jake Hudson and Kayden Carter, who each picked up their 3rd district title—an amazing accomplishment. Jake Hudson wrapped up his HB wrestling career in legendary fashion as an undefeated, 3-time district champion and state champion. 

An incredible effort from every wrestler, coach, and supporter—this was a season to remember. Congratulations on earning the District Championship! HB STRONG!
