High School News
Subscribe to RSS FeedGood Afternoon,
I hope this message finds you well!
On April 9, we will be administering the PSAT 9, PSAT 10, and SAT assessments to our 9th, 10th, and 11th graders. Please note that seniors will not report to school and are encouraged to work on their senior hours during this time.
Freshmen and sophomores are expected to complete their testing by around 11:00 AM and may leave school at that time. Juniors will finish around 12:00 PM and can leave as well. If you are unable to provide transportation for your student during these early release times, we will have supervised areas for them, and busing will be provided at the regular time of 1:40 PM.
Additionally, juniors will take the MSTEP on the afternoon of April 8, followed by the ACT WorkKeys assessment on the morning of April 10. Please note that this will be a normal school day for 9th, 10th, and 12th grade students.
For students attending the Calhoun Area Career Center or the Math and Science Center, they are expected to report for testing but will be excused from those locations. Afternoon math and science students will be excused but may attend if they have transportation and wish to do so.
We appreciate your support and cooperation in making this testing period smooth and successful for all students.
Have a great break!
Ed Greenman
Juniors and Seniors, you have two weeks left to purchase your prom tickets! The last day to buy a prom ticket is April 25. Tickets will be for sale during both lunches for $40.00 and are cash only. If you cannot purchase a ticket during lunches, please see Mrs. Peet or Mrs. Deskins.
If you are a senior who has donated blood at least 6 times, you can receive a blood cord for graduation. Email Mrs. Helmbreck for details. The deadline to receive these cords is April 15th.
Tickets for the annual “Night of Jazz” dinner dance are on sale in the band room and the main office. This event will feature the Harper Creek jazz band playing over two hours of live music in a nice dinner setting with a catered meal and dancing. Tickets are $30 each and will take place on April 26.
Auditions for next year’s jazz band will be held Thursday, May 1, after school in the band room. We are especially looking for guitar, bass, saxophone, and trombone students next year. Have a piece of music prepared that you believe shows off your abilities on your instrument. If you have any questions, ask Mr. Borders in the band room.
Our next blood drive is on April 21. You must be 16 or older to donate. Donations can earn you senior hours and a cord after 6 donations. Please see Mrs. Helmbreck for permission slips or to sign up.
Attention Students- Are you interested in the justice system? Then the mock trial club is for you! You can sign up in the main office or see Mr. Myers for more details.

Attention all 9th, 10th and 11th graders: Student council applications for next year are now available. Any student who is interested in joining Student Council next year should pick up an application packet from the main office. There are three parts to the application, a google form application, a student signature form, and teacher recommendation forms. All three parts must be completed and turned in to the office or Mr. Brinker by 8am on Monday April 28th. See Mr. Brinker with any questions.

Our seniors have earned the privilege of having an open campus lunch IF the following criteria have been met:
-
Passing all classes,
-
No incidents of ISS or OSS,
-
and have signed parent consent form.
These 12th grade students can leave campus during their scheduled lunch period. Our 12th grade students have been notified, and permission slips are available in the office. Once the form is signed and returned, they will be allowed to leave during their scheduled lunch period. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office at 269-441-8450.

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!
