From Dr. Arnold's Desk

I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful summer break filled with time with family, friends, and plenty of sunshine! Summer is a special chapter in our story, offering opportunities to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories.

As you enjoy your summer adventures, we would love to see what our Bearcat families are up to. Feel free to share your photos with us through ParentSquare or on our Facebook page. With your permission, we may feature them on our school social media pages to help our HES community stay connected throughout the summer.

We miss seeing our students each day and look forward to welcoming everyone back soon. Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer and keep making memories!
