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.

HAMS Families,
We are very excited to see our HAMS students on Monday, August 29th. With the inability to host an open house this year, the first day of student attendance will include orientation activities to familiarize new and returning students alike. Students new to HAMS and our incoming 6th grade class will receive extra guidance, as we know this can be a fun, but oftentimes anxious transition. Our staff always goes above and beyond, as such, we know they will make every effort throughout the first few weeks of school to ensure a successful start for your student.
