It's game day at HJHS! Let's Go Roadrunners!
HJHS is excited to announce the Native American Heritage Month Kick-Off event happening at the GGPAC (HHS Auditorium) this Thursday. This will be a wonderful opportunity for our students to celebrate and learn more about Native American Culture, Traditions and Contributions. Included will be a Hopi Dance Group and an Apache Crown Dance Group. These performances will give our students a deeper understanding of the beauty and diversity within Native American Cultures. In addition to the HUSD3 Native American days of celebration, HJHS is Committed to Celebrating Humanity as we Honor our Diversity...Teaching our Students to Respect others and to celebrate our similarities and differences and to treat each other with kindness .
November is Native American Heritage Month and this school year we’re proud to have over 1,300 students who identify as Native American. To celebrate, we’ve organized Spirit Days spread throughout the month, making it easy for everyone to join in on the most convenient days—participation is welcome whenever it works best for you. Each themed day, from traditional clothing to language pride, honors Native culture with inclusivity and respect, inviting all Roadrunners, Native and non-Native, to celebrate together.

What an experience for the 8th graders of HJHS as they traveled to Flagstaff to spend the day at Northern Arizona University as part of Indigenous Spirit Day! Our students engaged with college students for chats and a question and answer session as they discovered how NAU honors cultures through academic and personal development. The students learned about campus life, what it takes to get into college, how they can fund their schooling through scholarships, toured the campus, received an NAU lanyard, a college packet AND they got to eat lunch in the "Hot Spot"..all you can eat; they loved it.
~Thank you to the parents for allowing your child to experience the day, to our students for being Respectful, Responsible, and Reliably Safe, and the HJHS staff for supporting this adventure. It was a great day to be a Roadrunner!~
