Congratulations to our new National Honor Society Inductees and families! What a great honor representing our school!
Reminder that the High School Guidance Department will be holding meetings for parents of Seniors and Freshmen next week during parent/teacher conferences. Each night of conferences will be the same: Senior meeting from 6-7 p.m. and Freshman meeting from 7-8 p.m., held in the old cafeteria/current HS Foods room. The meetings will likely not last the entire hour, but I wanted to leave time for questions. These meetings are not mandatory, but will cover useful information for each grade level. Sophomore and Junior parent meetings will be held in the Spring. Any questions can be emailed to Michelle O'Donnell at m_odonnell@new-hampton.k12.ia.us
