Red Carpet Academic Awards – Thursday Jan 30!

We will recognize our Hill Students for their exceptional hard work and achievement from Semester 1 on January 30th from 5:00pm-7:00pm. All students receive awards so we hope your family will stop by! 

The format is joyful, where families can come in at any time during the 2-hour window to receive the award and walk the red carpet! 

Hill Campus Spiritwear

A new hoodie has been added to the Hill Spiritwear Store!

Cooking Club Starting in February

What’s cookin’ at Hill? Come find out! Cooking club will be held on Mondays from 4:10pm-5pm starting on February 3rd. This club will be led by Mr. Jay, who is one of our sign language interpreters. This club will have four sessions, with each session lasting three weeks in order to provide all students a chance to join. We will learn about cooking safety, techniques, cleanliness, and cook some delicious snacks. Cooking club has limited supplies, so your student must sign-up in the cafeteria before next Friday, January 31st to request a spot. If you receive a spot, a $10 donation towards the club is appreciated to ensure we have fresh ingredients each week.
