This weekend, Christina O'Connor, HHS Social Studies teacher, Deirdre Anderson, Hingham Historical Society Executive Director, and Andy Hoey, K-12 Social Studies Director, presented at the National Council for the Social Studies annual conference in Boston.
Their presentation, Partnering with Your Local Historical Society: Student Engagement and Historical Thinking, explored how collaboration can bring history to life for students.
We're fortunate to have such a strong historical society in Hingham, making it easy to connect students with local history in meaningful ways.

Foster Elementary 3rd graders finished their Wampanoag studies today with a fun Wetu Walkthrough! Students built unique models of Wetus and Longhouses using natural materials, inspired by how the Wampanoag people lived. Classmates, staff, and administrators toured the displays, asked questions, and shared positive feedback.

Today, we honor our courageous and selfless veterans for their bravery and sacrifices they have made in service to our country. 🇺🇸♥️
On Friday, South Elementary 5th graders led a memorable Veteran’s Day celebration. The event began with a procession of veterans, proudly led by the Hingham Militia group, followed by an all-school assembly where students and staff gathered to express their gratitude.
We are deeply thankful for all veterans - those who have served, those who currently serve, and those who are no longer with us. Thank you for your dedication and service.
