Weekend hoops for Houston Lady Tiger Basketball 🐯🏀 in the third-place game of the Lady Lions Invitational
INSIDE OUR CLASSROOMS 🐯 Eighth graders in Mrs. Mandy Adey's Careers class are touring State Technical College of Missouri on Friday. Students tested in areas of their "career cluster" inventory and discovered interests in programs the technical college offers.
Olivia Crites is the HHS Student-Athlete of the Month for December 🐯🏀
A senior forward for the Lady Tigers basketball team, Olivia has started every game this season and leads the team in scoring and rebounding. She is also the reigning Female Athlete of the Year at HHS as a three-sport athlete. Congratulations Olivia!
Our senior class recently completed surveys sharing their post-graduation goals and where they are in the process with campus visits, completing the FAFSA and other milestones. A drawing was held for all the submissions, and seniors Andy Durham and Harold Lassiter won $25 gift cards. Pictured with the winners are Mrs. Shana Adams, High School Administrative Assistant, and Jeff McNiell, College and Career Advisor.
The drawing was through the rootEd initiative, which places advisers like McNiell in rural high schools to assist students with their post-secondary plans. Our district is was of 153 in the state selected for the program.

INSIDE OUR CLASSROOMS 🐯 Today in Mrs. Trina Morgan's fourth-grade class, Mrs. Maggie Moore and Ms. Sara Anderson shared with students the importance of using kind words. They had students cut out hearts and squeeze toothpaste on their heart when something was mentioned that was mean or not nice. Then students tried sucking the toothpaste back into the tube. Students learned the powerful principle that once their words were spoken, they can't take them back.
