What people are saying

by a student
Wednesday, September 2, 2009

I go to this school and it is great. The teachers really take the time to get to know each student as an individual and are always available if you need them. The teachers set up meetings with the students (or have an open door policy) during lunch after school and even before school starts. This school teaches the basic academic while also instilling the importance and value of community service. I also feel that with the work given to us in this school and the responsibility that falls upon us while attending HSPS prepares us as students for not only college but the real world. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!!!
