Hilltopper Fans, It is the expectation of the Chickasaw County School District, Houston High School, and the MHSAA that all fans and attendees of athletic events demonstrate the highest levels of appropriate conduct. Athletic events are intended to be friendly competitions between student athletes. Fans are encouraged to support teams and students. However, any heckling, taunting, physical contact, vulgar language, or other inappropriate behavior directed towards a fan, the participating teams, or school administration will not be tolerated at any athletic event. Any person participating in such activities will be removed immediately from the event, and he or she may be banned from future athletic events as well as face legal charges. Remember, our fans represent our students, our school, our district, and our community. Please display the pride and loyalty that has always been a trademark of our fan base as we continue to support our Hilltoppers. Encouraged: • Enthusiastic support of your team • Good sportsmanship • Family friendly atmosphere • Commitment to safety • Welcoming attitude to all fans and visitors Unacceptable: • Disruptive or unruly behavior • Foul or abusive behavior or obscene gestures • Rudeness to fellow fans or personnel • Spectators are not allowed on playing surfaces at any time • Use of alcohol or tobacco **The conduct of fans at MHSAA events can have a DIRECT CONSEQUENCE for athletic programs and teams. Do not hurt our student athletes.

This is just a small glimpse of what goes on daily in our HUES classrooms. Between students creating and learning more about science with fun projects in Mrs. Thomas' room to a student-led reading lesson in Mrs. May's class to a GLOW writing activity in Mrs. Cruse' s class, our teachers work tirelessly everyday to make sure students get the best out of their day everyday. Thank you teachers for everything that you do. #gotoppers

In response to an unknown sound in the area around the Upper Elementary, and out of an abundance of caution, Houston Upper Elementary School went into a very brief soft lockdown this morning. Everything has been cleared and we are on normal schedule.

This morning we will be conducting Lockdown Drills with Law Enforcement officers at all CCSD schools. These drills are done to practice and to improve safety procedures. Again, today is only a drill.

Houston Upper Elementary School's Back to School Bash is this Thursday, August 15 from 5:30-7:30. If you have a student that goes to HUES, please make plans to join us for an evening of fun and getting to know our staff a little better. Reminder----All students that come will have to be accompanied by an adult(s). We look forward to seeing you this Thursday night. Please make preparations to come.
