HAMS Parents,
Earlier this morning, the school was put on a soft lockdown to allow the Vermilion County Sheriff's Department do a walk-through of our building with their drug dogs. HAMS was found to be a drug-free campus. Students have now continued their school day.

The High School will be holding a Scheduling Fair for all incoming freshmen on February 8th from 6:00-7:00 pm in the HS cafeteria. The purpose of this fair is to allow incoming freshmen to meet with teachers and staff and learn about all the different offerings at Hoopeston Area High School. Each department will have a table set up with information for parents and students about what classes they teach and will be available to answer questions. Extracurricular and club coaches and sponsors will also be in attendance to share information about their programs. This night's purpose is to give parents and students an opportunity to get a better idea of course offerings for when students begin signing up for classes in the spring to get their schedules set for the next school year.
