ANNOUNCEMENTS

Appreciation Week - April 21-22: We set aside a special time each semester to show appreciation to those who serve HCHE so faithfully. Is there a Teacher, Vital Partner, Staff Member, NLC Hospitality Staff member or another parent who has made your time here especially meaningful? Here’s your chance to let them know with a note of thanks, a homemade treat or any “special something.”

Mark your calendars! Beginning April 24th at 8 am online registration appointment requests open in your family portal under the NEWS tab. Be sure to sign in early for the best appointment time.

Free ACT Practice Test: Not sure if you should focus on ACT or SAT? Class 101 is sponsoring a FREE Community ACT Practice Test on April 26th at at 1pm for all interested high school students in the area. Gain valuable insight into what an actual ACT test-taking environment is like and learn some of our valuable tips. Check it out here.

Thank you for being part of the High Country community, and we hope you’ve discovered some great reads along the way!
