So proud of our amazing teams of 6th and 7th graders who competed in their first Lego League robotics competition on December 6 at Coconino High School in Flagstaff. These students worked incredibly hard, learned a ton, and represented their school with energy, dedication, and endless curiosity. They truly are young innovators.
Both teams are already buzzing with excitement for next year and cannot wait to compete again. It was a marathon day for everyone. Students met at 5:15 in the morning and did not return until after 7 in the evening, but every moment was filled with learning, teamwork, and fun.
A huge thank you to Coach Baloo and Coach Jimenez for the time, passion, and commitment you pour into this program. You make opportunities like this possible.

White Mountain League Finals on December 6 was a day to celebrate. Our HJHS wrestlers showed incredible heart and grit. Zayne Kee battled his way to a runner up finish in the 68 pound division and Alexander Dawson dominated the mat to become the Champion at 111 pounds. Both athletes trained hard all season and their success is well earned. We are proud of their dedication and proud to have them representing HJHS.

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.
