Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” —Mark Twain Culture, People, Projects  9th grade Oscar/Mary team heads to the desert for an end of the year camping trip.  At the end of the year, all HTH students present their learning to their parents, peers and teachers. It can take many different forms, but for 9th graders on Mark Aguirre and Sofia Tannenhaus' team like Luana pictured above, they presented a powerpoint in front of a panel. The students addressed what struggles they faced during the year and what they learned from the struggles and from their projects. 10th graders create a plan for building an escape room for Exhibition.  Seniors Julianna Mendes and Eman Abdulkadir were awarded $1,000 each from the Aaron Commerson Memorial Scholarship Fund. Aaron Commerson was a HTH Physics teacher who passed away in 2012.    Congratulations to our graduates! 2019 Annual MEChA Banquet Ceremony  at HTH To read the program, click here.  Important News And Dates!  Have a safe and happy summer!
