📣 HHS 10th Grade Parents & Students!
This Wednesday, October 7th, all HHS 10th graders will take the Pre-ACT — FREE of charge! The Pre-ACT gives our students valuable experience with ACT-style questions, timing, and testing expectations before the real thing counts.
More importantly, it helps us identify strengths, pinpoint areas for growth, set goals, and provide more targeted ACT preparation moving forward. Early exposure builds confidence, reduces test-day anxiety, and gives our students a head start on college and career readiness.
At HHS, we don’t wait until junior year to start preparing for success. We prepare early, we prepare intentionally, and we WORK for it! 💪📚
