HJHS, with more than 250 participating students, earned the highest statewide lap total and has been named the 2025 Lap-A-Thon Champion. The school received a custom trophy and banner recognizing their achievement, school spirit, and commitment to health and wellness. HealthCorps regional leaders said the turnout and energy across Arizona demonstrated how powerful school-based wellness programs can be. This year’s Lap-A-Thon brought together more than 1,750 students from 20 schools statewide, each walking or running as many laps as possible in 30 minutes while tracking their progress on individual stamp cards and cheering on their classmates. The event is part of HealthCorps’ broader mission to help students build lifelong healthy habits through fun, inclusive school activities that strengthen both physical and mental well-being.

The recent Arizona on the Move Lap A Thon sponsored by HealthCorps "Teens Make Health Happen", brought together students in a spirited celebration of physical activity. HJHS competed against twenty schools statewide and earned first place. HealthCorps will provide a banner and trophy in recognition of this outstanding achievement.
Students participated with enthusiasm and purpose, demonstrating how movement can bring the school community together. Each step served as a reminder that staying active supports not only physical well being but also cooperation, positive energy, and lifelong healthy habits.

This week is our final week to celebrate Native American Heritage Month. All students are welcome to participate in all activities. Thank you to our students, staff, parents, and our Indian Education Program for supporting and celebrating with us.
Bernice Gover, HUSD Indian Education Director, recently offered ribbon skirt classes. A variety of beautiful fabric was available for participants to choose from. HJHS teacher Ashley Speers and Andrea Tomlin, principal of Indian Wells Elementary, took the opportunity to create their own beautiful ribbon skirts. We appreciate their participation and the pride they put into their work!
We’re celebrating Native American Heritage Month. Each Thursday in November is Traditional Dress Day, and our students and staff showed their pride.
