Thank our amazing Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Langston! 🙌
Mrs. Langston has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure every student is scheduled for the classes they need - not just the ones they requested, but also the courses required for graduation and CTE pathways. Her dedication ensures students are on track for success both in school and beyond.
We’re so appreciative of all the care and effort she puts into supporting our students’ goals. 💙

For Your Info Friday!
Why does GPA matter? Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is one of the biggest factors colleges look at when reviewing applications. A strong GPA shows that you're prepared for the rigor of college-level work and have the study habits to succeed.
GPA also plays a role in scholarship opportunities and eligibility for programs like honors societies and dual enrollment. Keeping your grades up now opens more doors later - for college, career pathways, and beyond!✨

Teacher Feature Thursday!
Mrs. Garcia-Herreros wears many hats - she teaches English Language Arts, Spanish, and French, and also serves as the National (Junior) Honor Society (NHS & NJHS) advisor. Students must maintain strong grades to be invited to join the National Honor Society, and Mrs. Garcia-Herreros helps guide them on that journey. Under her leadership, the NHS/NJHS Students are quick to volunteer on the HVS campus to support teachers bringing our school community even closer together. We’re so grateful for her dedication and the many ways she supports our students’ success.
