Autumn Academic Achievement for Accountability in Action

Please join us at Hastings High School in the North Library on November 6th from 6:30pm – 8:30pm.  We will have live music, free food, free student homework passes, and 12 different booths for parents and students to visit.

The focus of this night will be to review Autumn’s Accountability in Action for all students at Hastings High School.  We will review college admission information, scholarship opportunities, financial aid information, Pre-AP and AP student information, athletic college admission requirements, state testing standards, graduation requirements, parent involvement and digital messages, and the grade level counselors will speak to parents/guardians for all students in their appropriate grade levels.

If you have any questions, please contact the school at 281-498-8110 ext. 2910.
