Happy Nurses day to our HPS nurses Cathy Lancaster and Amber Beltran! 💚🤍
THE HEART OF A SCHOOL NURSE
You notice the silent, the struggles unseen,
You comfort with kindness, you care in between.
Steady and sure, through each twist and turn,
You help every student, making sure they're ready to learn.
You stand at the center-calm, strong, and wise,
With health in your hands and care in your eyes.
Today we thank you for all that you do-
Keeping schools safe and students healthy too.



The high school library will be open to the public from 3:00-4:00 pm starting today until Wednesday (5/7) for anyone in the community that would like to take any of the books that are left.
The shelves on the wall need to go as well. You will need to bring your own tools to remove them.
La biblioteca de la preparatoria estará abierta al público de 15:00 a 16:00 h desde hoy hasta el miércoles 7 de mayo para cualquier persona de la comunidad que desee llevarse los libros que quedan.
Los estantes de la pared también deben retirarse. Deberán traer sus propias herramientas para retirarlos.
