HPSPodcast 5.32

Dutch Theatre's production of The Wizard of Oz runs May 1-4 at the HHS PAC. This week, we talk with cast members Sophia Palmateer and Hailey Huggett.

2025-26 Student Registration

As we prepare for the start of the next school year, it's time register your student for 2025-26. This is something we ask ALL current HPS families to do EVERY year. Completing the registration lets us know:

  • Your student(s) will be returning next year!
  • Your household contact information is up to date
  • Your student health information is up to date
  • if you are requesting transportation for the 2025-2026 school year (Deadline to request bussing is August 1.)

Without this information, your student can not be added to a class list for next year OR have a class schedule created for them.

  • Register by May 21 to be in the running for a $100 Meijer gift card.
