💙Special Friday Visitor! 💙

HHS students and staff were thrilled to receive a surprise visit from Ms. Kimmi. She was able to stop by for a short time — her first time back in the high school since before Winter Break due to her accident and recovery.

There were lots of smiles and excitement as she zoomed around the building, reconnecting with students and staff. It was wonderful to see her back in the halls, and we continue to wish her the very best as she recovers! 💙
