Dear HCSS Community,
As we reflect on the month of November, I want to take a moment to highlight the incredible work happening in our schools and the phenomenal school community we continue to build together.
November is a time of transition and celebration. Our fall athletics programs are in winding down, and we are so proud of the effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship our student-athletes display on the field, court, pool, and track. From thrilling games to personal milestones, these moments highlight the dedication of not only our students but also the coaches and staff who guide and inspire them. Thank you for the countless hours you spend mentoring and encouraging our students to succeed.
Academically, we are approaching the critical final stretch of the semester. This is a pivotal time for our students as they prepare for exams, complete projects, and strive to meet their goals. Your unwavering support and guidance are crucial as they navigate this busy period. Each day, you make a difference by fostering curiosity, resilience, and a love for learning.
Our students and staff are truly amazing, and I am constantly reminded of how fortunate we are to have such a dedicated, talented, and compassionate community. The opportunities we provide—whether through academics, athletics, arts, or extracurricular activities—are second to none, and it’s because of all of you. Together, we are creating an environment where every student can explore their passions and achieve their full potential.
As we continue through this season, let’s take time to celebrate our successes, support one another, and inspire our students to finish strong. Your commitment to excellence ensures that our schools remain a place where dreams take flight and possibilities are endless.
Thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely,
Leah Watkins, Director of Schools
