HJHS 8th Graders! Wednesday, May 25th: Promotion Practice will include a walkthrough at Roadrunner Stadium. We are expecting nothing but sunshine. Students are encouraged to wear sunscreen. Also, hats for outside practice is a good idea. Students will not wear hats during indoor promotion practice or during the ceremony but suggested for outside walkthrough practice. Most of our practice time will be conducted indoors but students will most likely be on the field at Roadrunner Stadium for about an hour. A water bottle is also encouraged as we are expecting temps in the 80's on Wednesday. We are looking forward to a successful Promotion Ceremony (Thursday).
