The Hingham Arts Walk was a fantastic success, with beautiful weather showcasing our talented arts programs.

Breathe in, and breathe OUT. Last week, Hingham High School students took a refreshing break from their regular classes to participate in Get Out with Breathe Out Day, hosted by the Breathe Out Club, a student-led initiative that promotes mental health awareness and self-care. The club is advised by adjustment counselors Kevin Lalli and Jessica Hoguet.
This event focuses on the vital connection between outdoor activities, exercise, and self-care. Students enjoyed sports, creative activities, and relaxation in the great outdoors.
At Hingham High, we believe that travel has the power to transform lives, broaden perspectives, and foster understanding among diverse cultures. The newly created HHS Travel Scholarship Fund will support students with financial circumstances enabling them to participate in a wide variety of school-sponsored trips. If you are interested in more information, please contact Mrs. Lora Malerbi at lmalerbi@hinghamschools.org.
