🦁🎓 SENIOR WEEK ACTIVITIES 🎓🦁
On Monday, May 19th, we kick off a FUN filled Senior Week! Every day is packed full of soaking up every last bit of time we have left with the Class of 2025!
🐸 DISSECTION WINNERS!! 🐸
Mrs. Hurst's class has been dissecting frogs and she said that, "this was my absolute best dissection. They rocked it, and they're hoping to make the FB page." Done and done!!! Congrats to Cannon Bridges and Cason Cameron for not only understanding the assignment, but also for putting a big smile on their teacher's face!
Congratulations to Mr. Angell and Mrs. Rushing who were awarded grants from the GenCyber Institute hosted by Kilgore College!! The goal of the Institute and the grants are to help prepare students for and promote careers in cybersecurity. Danny Darden and Ginger Dennis of Kilgore College delivered the grant materials to HHS this week.
⭐🎓⭐ HHS HONOR GRADUATES ⭐🎓⭐
We are so pleased to announce the Top 10% Honor Graduates of the Class of 2025! Congratulations to these students for earning top honors for their class!
🏅 VASE GOLD SEAL AWARD🏅
Take a moment to congratulate HHS Senior, Birdie Linthicum!!
VASE (Visual Arts Scholastic Event) is an annual art competition sponsored by UIL and the Texas Art Education Association. It is difficult to make it through District and Regionals, but even more so to qualify for State. Out of 2,350 State Qualifiers, only the top 10% of entries receive the Gold Seal. That's 164 high school students in the ENTIRE State of Texas. And our own Birdie WAS ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!! This is the highest level students can achieve.
Birdie's piece is titled "For Gran: Don't Forget" a tribute to her grandmother who has Alzheimer's. It is a stunning piece of artwork and we could not be more proud of Birdie's accomplishment!!
💻 MICROSOFT WORD EXPERTS 💻
Mr. Dean's Business students have worked very hard throughout this year, and many of them tested and became certified as a Microsoft Word Expert!! This is a certification that the students can carry with them throughout their careers!
Also, a HUGE shout out to Freshmen, Mynleigh LaGrone and Aaliyah Vanzandt, for becoming the FIRST Microsoft Excel Experts in HHS HISTORY!!
📣 HHS CHEER COACHES 📣
Please congratulate Catie Rainwater, HHS Varsity Cheer Coach, and Bethany McClure, JV Cheer Coach, as they embark on a new adventure leading our outstanding HHS Cheerleaders!
Congratulations 🎉 to three Henderson students who were recognized in the 2025 Northeast Texas Poetry in Schools Contest this morning:
