High School News
Subscribe to RSS FeedCongratulations to all those involved in the spring musical. The community is raving about you! Please remember to turn in your scripts by Wednesday, March 26th so as not to have a fine. Scripts can be turned in directly to Ms. Hurley or to the middle school office. Watch for next year's show announcements in the next month. See you next season!
The Western Michigan University college of aviation is hosting an event for students interested in aviation. If you are interested in opportunities in aviation, the event is takes place on April 5th. See Mr. Greenman for more details.
Attention Students: Are you a senior that needs volunteer hours to meet your graduation requirement? Are you a junior that needs community service hours to add to your scholarship applications next year? Are you a new or existing NHS member that needs volunteer hours to maintain your good standing in the organization? Or, if you have ever played any sport at the Wattles Park Men's Club, please consider volunteering with Mr. Lowrie at the Wattles Park Men's Club Community Day on Saturday April 12 from 10 am until noon. We will be helping with light groundskeeping and assist with preparing the fields and facilities for the upcoming spring soccer and baseball seasons. And we'll even buy you a donut. So, please consider joining Mr. Lowrie for a tasty pastry, and the opportunity to give back to your community with a couple hours of your time.
Attention theater students who worked with Mr. Harmon: if you performed in or worked backstage for four shows before Mr. Harmon left, please see Ms. Hurley in room 120 to potentially receive a varsity letter for theater. You must talk to her before spring break to receive your letter before graduation.
Any student who has done four shows in high school with Ms. Hurley and meets the other requirements will receive their letters automatically.
If you are planning to do dual enrollment next school year, please have your dual enrollment agreement turned in before spring break. If you need to take the Accuplacer, that also needs to be completed before April 1.
Students in grades 9-11, please make sure you have the device you will be testing on for the digital readiness check on March 25 during 4th block.
Attention Juniors and Seniors! Prom tickets are on sale starting this week for ONLY Seniors. Tickets will be $40.00 per ticket. Cash only. Tickets will be sold during both lunches. Junior and Senior sales will begin on April 7th. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Peet or Mrs. Deskins

HCHS_Counselors
Harper Creek High School Counselors make every effort to meet the academic, postsecondary, and social emotional needs of every single student at HCHS. We aim to do this by providing individual, small group, and classroom counseling sessions to students across diverse topics as frequently as possible. School Counselors will work with students and parents on scheduling, navigating the complexities of postsecondary planning, career exploration, and managing personal issues.
School Counselors will also help students to complete their Educational Development Plans (EDP's), provide recommendations, offer occupational guidance, help students to locate information relevant to their plans after high school, and assist with scholarship information. In addition, we are here to assist students with other matters such as: attendance, organization, and motivation. While we do not provide long term psychotherapy, we can help provide referrals to local mental health organizations.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have!
