Today is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, and we want to take a moment to shine a massive spotlight on the heart and soul of our classrooms.
At HCHS, our paraprofessionals are more than just "helpers"—they are mentors, advocates, and the steady hands that ensure every student has the support they need to succeed. Whether they are providing one-on-one instruction, managing complex transitions, or offering a word of encouragement, their impact is felt in every hallway of this school.
To our Paraprofessional Team:
Thank you for your endless patience.
Thank you for your adaptability and grit.
Thank you for seeing the potential in every student.
We truly couldn't do what we do without you. You make HCHS a better place to learn and grow every single day!

The Tactical Response Team secured 1st place, and Criminal Justice took 3rd place at the SkillsUSA State Competition, thanks to your teaching and guidance! Thank you to Sgt. Jerad Shehorn, Officer Allen Schrecker, and Officer Andy Rush for your extra dedication to our Colonels!
