CWW finished up their three day trip to Yellowstone yesterday with morning wolf watching. Students met with a biological technician with the Yellowstone Wolf Project, and were able to observe a pack of wolves playing and feeding together. They also saw four grizzly bears, coyotes, bison, and a moose in the early morning hours. For most kids, this was their first time visiting Yellowstone. Thank you Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Foundation and HHS Families for Education for supporting our class and making this trip possible!
HHS Parents,
Don't forget to purchase a yearbook and capture your student's memories from high school. The books will be here soon, and we'll hold a signing party for those who have already purchased a book on May 23.
Purchase here at: www.yearbookforever.com so your student gets their book for the distribution party!

Our HHS tennis team is having an all-around awesome season! Here is the latest update from Coach Dufresne:
Another wild week of tennis.
The boys won duals against Loyola, Stevensville, and Corvallis, improving their record to 8-0.
The girls won duals against Loyola and Stevensville, before losing a close one (4-3) against Corvallis, giving them a 7-1 record for the year.
JV traveled to Butte Central where the boys won, and the girls lost.
We have amazing student athletes on this team. Three of the varsity players, while managing their school work and playing tennis, helped lead the Science Olympiad team to the state title. Five of the JV players, while managing their school work and playing tennis, helped lead the Envirothon team to a state championship.
I also want to recognize the bus drivers in our district for all that they do to help our students experience all the extra curricular activities available to them. The Butte trip meant the team spent around 900 miles on a bus in a five day span, which means bus drivers spent nearly 900 miles behind the wheel, driving our kids safely to and from. Our driver that morning had come back the night before from another trip, I believe taking the Science Olympiad team to Bozeman. Schools are short handed on a number of levels, unfortunately, and bus drivers are getting harder and harder to come by, despite their importance to our kids. So a huge thank you to those we have in our district.
Finally, we’ve had some amazing team dinners this year. Numerous families have opened their homes and cooked dinner for a great group of student athletes, helping build a culture of togetherness and joy. The team dinners may honestly be my favorite part of coaching this year, because sports, like life, should be celebrated. And it’s always best to celebrate together.
The HHS Softball team is having a great season! Here is a list of scores so far from Coach Johnson. Go Broncs!
