HHS Class of 2025

Again this year, we will have a professional photographer (Rachel Ann Photography https://rachelannphoto.info ) at commencement to capture the moment! 

Following commencement, senior parents should expect an email from HHS with information on how to order.  Be patient as it will take a few weeks before she is ready for orders!
