During this cold remote day the seniors still had a college visit presentations with ESU. The best part of it is that Admissions Counselor, Katie Martin is a 2015 graduate of HHS!!
Tonight's HHS basketball games at Lebo have been canceled due to the abnormally cold weather and less than perfect road conditions.
