HJHS would like to thank all of our families for their partnership. The home-to-school connection is invaluable and we appreciate all of you. At HJHS we hope parent-teacher conference time is an opportunity to get to learn more about your child's progress personally, academically, socially and successfully at school. ~Thank you for taking your time to meet with our teachers whether in-person, virtually or over the phone. It is our goal to Give No Less Than Our Best for the students of HJHS. ~Your voice matters in the home-to-school partnership so we would love to hear from you.
