Talking HF Tigers 3/15

I would like to thank everyone who attended the Capital Project Informational Sessions that allowed the district a chance to show the importance of the work for our school community. It provided the opportunity for community members to ask questions and get a glimpse of what the future will look like. We encourage all members of the community to come out to the polls on Wednesday, March 27 from noon to 8:00 p.m. in the high school gymnasium. If you would like to get or share information about the proposed capital project visit our website

Tigers Engage in Battle of the Books 

This past Monday, March 11, representatives from our third, fourth , fifth and sixth grades competed against a number of local schools in the 2024 WSWHE BOCES Battle of the Books. Students prepared for the Battle of the Books for many months by reading a total of 10 fiction and non-fiction books. Let’s congratulate our participants, who by preparing themselves for the competition, showed up as winners. Our third grade team finished in third place and our fourth grade team finished in second place proudly bringing banners back to display in our schools. Congratulations Tigers.
