School at HHS was far from dull—it was jam-packed with holidays and other excuses to escape having a routine day. Hardly a week went by that HHS students weren't celebrating something — whether it was a traditional holiday, a club-sponsored event, or simply something that somebody started. Fall brought football season, and with it came pep rallies and homecoming activities. The winter blahs were chased away with Hawaiian days, basketball we games and dances. Groups of friends held “junk food potluck” lunch days on which everyone brought their favorite goodies to share. Christmas break was celebrated in such a big way that even Santa Claus came to see what was happening at the high school. As the year flew by, so did FFA Week, Foreign Language Week, Scholastic contests, the art fair and practically every kind of field trip imaginable. There was no such thing as a boring day at HHS. ABOVE Santa spent a morning before school in the commons of HHS. Senior Traci Riechmann tells him her wishes for a special holiday season
