A Message From Dr. Woodberry Greetings High School East Community,
Principal’s Message.....Page 1
This winter’s weather has certainly been memorable! Hopefully we are finished with the snow for this school year. Through it all excellence continues here at our school. Students pushed themselves to finish the second quarter strong (visit the H.S.E. website to view the Quarter 2 Honor Roll) and are now settled into the second semester. As we continue to navigate through the changes in State policy and curriculum, I am confident that our practices here in Half Hollow Hills will always keep us ahead of the rest. The High School East staff is working hard as always to ensure that our students receive high quality instruction.

Excellence abounds in and outside of the classroom at High School East. As in the past, a number of our seniors have already secured admission into some of the finest institutions in the nation. Students earned recognition in various local and national academic competitions. We have county champs and sports teams who have had great results in the playoffs this winter season. Our students showed school and holiday spirit in various ways including cheering on classmates at the winter sports pep rally, putting on a holiday show for the James E. Allen Alternative School and participating in a myriad of charitable community service endeavors. We take great pride in all that our students do to uphold the tradition and image of High School East! We are currently in the process of creating the master schedule for the 2014-2015 school year. By the time you read this, students would have had presentations on courses and electives, received recommendations from their teachers for future courses and submitted requests in consultation with their guidance counselors. Parents, please take the time to discuss the course requests with your child. It is very important that students thoughtfully request courses now because request numbers will determine the courses and elective classes offered next year. Finally, as always we thank the Board of Education, the Superintendent and Central Office Staff, the High School East PTSA and of course the parents of our community for making it possible for us to provide the best educational experience for our students.
