🍁 For October, our word is Courage.💛
We are helping students understand that showing courage means choosing to do what is right, even when it is hard or when you might feel afraid.
This includes:
-Standing up for yourself and others in a kind way
-Trying new things, even when they feel challenging
-Admitting mistakes and learning from them
-Never giving up, even when things are difficult

INTERN SPOTLIGHT:
Yug Patel is an 11th grade intern this year and is a very unique student because aside from interning he is also an OSSM student at Kiamichi Tech and a concurrent student at CASC. Yug has a lot on his plate and he is juggling all of it very well. We are so proud of him!
Here is what he has to say about his internship: "My internship takes place in Mr. Wylie’s Geometry class and I usually make the daily bell work, grade papers, and help out students on their work. I want to work as an aerospace or mechanical engineer after high school and geometry is a major principle that will be used as an engineer. During my time as an intern, I have learned how to be responsible and how difficult it is to be a teacher. My favorite thing about my internship is helping the students and being a mentor to them."

JUNIORS, it is almost time to start thinking about applying for OK 2026 YOUTH TOUR! Mrs. Wright will soon have a special guest speaker to present all the information you need in order to apply, but it is important for us to take a moment to let our school and community know that our very own Benny Villanueva was selected to attend the OK 2025 Youth Tour. He was one of several juniors throughout the state of Oklahoma to be selected to tour Washington D.C. this past summer.
Here is what Benny had to say about his experience: "Youth Tour gave me the chance to build lasting connections with student leaders in Oklahoma and showed me how our government works up close. In Washington D.C., I met with delegates from across the country and toured the Capitol, stepping into both the Senate and House chambers. The highlight was meeting with Oklahoma Senator Mullin."
Benny, we are so proud you shared your experiences with us and thank you for representing HHS well!

We want to thank Coach Broyles for speaking to our 6th-8th grade students today about what it takes to be a leader not just on the football field but also in the game of life.

Bailey Smith is a senior intern and is working with Pre-K and Kindergarten students and Mrs. Tomlin. She helps students with their work and helps Mrs. Tomlin pass out papers and provide student activities.

It has also helped her create a foundation in working with children. This experience is one that will have lasting effects as she pursues her dreams of becoming a child therapist. Bailey says her favorite aspect of her internship is "helping and connecting with the kids." We are so proud of you Bailey and wish you the best on all of your future endeavors!

HS Parents:
All HS students were given a flyer that provided OK Promise information this week. Students were asked to take those home to parents because if a student qualifies then it would mean their tuition would be covered at any public college or university (portions of tuition could also be covered at technical and private schools as well).
Please, if you have not applied for OK Promise for your student, do so now! You may go to https://okpromise.org/ for more information.
Also, just a quick reminder, Parent Teacher Conferences are tonight from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm and OK Promise information tables will be set up in both the Mid Level and High School buildings.
