Business Pathway Pilot Program- HHS is ready to pilot a new pathway program for Business. The program will offer opportunities for students with a special interest in Business. Students can learn about the Business Pathway Program by attending a brief informational meeting immediately after school on December 10th in room 278. This program is available for students currently enrolled in a business course, have taken a business course in the past, or are considering business electives in future semesters. To learn more, students can join the Google Classroom page ( xkcob6t) prior to the meeting. Please see Mr. Hoey, Mr. Tarantello, or Mr. George if you have any questions.
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 on how to donate to this fund, please contact Mrs. Lora Malerbi at lmalerbi@hinghamschools.org.
Dr. Williams and her staff at Nantasket Eye Care in Hull are doing a drive for eyeglass donations at local schools. The donated glasses are collected by the local Lions Chapter in Hull. Ultimately they are donated to people in need both domestically and internationally. There will be a basket in the main office to drop off your gently used eyeglasses.
Please do not leave backpacks, sports equipment, etc. unattended. Put any sporting equipment into the locker rooms before school.
A reminder for all students if you arrive early to school you are only to be in the cafeteria, the LMC or with a teacher. There is no hanging out in the gym before school.
Not all parking placards are being properly displayed. Please be sure yours is hanging on your rearview mirror. Administration will be checking the parking lot.
______________________________________________________________________
The LMC is open for students starting at 7:30 AM!
Students: Please be reminded that all entrance to the building should happen through the main front door in the morning. That door opens at 7 AM.
A reminder to all student drivers: All student have been assigned. If you need to pick yours up, stop by the main office. Please have your placard displayed on your rearview mirror. Be sure to drive safely, especially in the neighborhood around the school. The Hingham Police Department has received several complaints recently about speeding on Union Street and Pleasant Street, so you can expect a heightened level of supervision and enforcement of the speed limit.
This is a friendly reminder that, during lunch, all HHS students, regardless of grade, are welcome to sit outdoors at the picnic tables behind the cafeteria. Fresh air is good for you, so feel free to take advantage of “al fresco dining” whenever you want to get outside at lunch time.
Reminder, no food deliveries such as Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. are allowed during the school day.
