A fun upcoming opportunity for our middle schoolers! (This event is not sponsored by the school, but we wanted to help spread the word!)

Another great night for Pirate athletics! 🏴‍☠️🧡 The girls cross country team added another trophy to their collection, bringing home 2nd place at the Ubly Invitational! Our middle school football team picked up a big win over Bad Axe, while our middle school volleyball teams wrapped up their seasons in Kingston, with the 7th grade team finishing on a high note with a victory!

🎨 Ms. McIntyre’s Advanced Art students recently had the opportunity to participate in "Rural Landscapes: The Impact of Rural Arts", presented by the 53North Project in the Port Austin area! The day included a panel discussion with 53North artists, lunch, and a guided tour of the Key 53North Barn Art Installations and statue. Even with a little rain, our students stepped off the bus to get an up-close look at these large-scale works of art! This experience gave them a firsthand look at how art can revitalize rural agricultural communities, celebrate local creativity, and preserve the history of the places we call home. Thank you to the 53North Project for inviting our students to experience art beyond the classroom! 🧡

Join our HB volleyball programs as they take the court to support two great causes! 🏐🩷 Proceeds raised will benefit Stephanie Redburn as she battles breast cancer, as well as the Harbor Beach Food Pantry.

Come out, show your Pirate Pride, and help us make a difference in our community! 🧡

If you weren't able to make it to conferences Tuesday, we hope to see you Thursday!

The Health Department is coming tomorrow during conferences to offer flu shots and immunizations. See the flyer for more details!

From fresh ingredients to a delicious meal! 🍅🍝 With generous donations of tomatoes and vegetables, Ms. McIntyre’s Creative Studies/Life Skills classes worked together to make homemade spaghetti sauce. Later, students got to enjoy the fruits of their labor with a spaghetti meal of their own making!

The verdict? Students said it was the best spaghetti they’ve ever had!

Our Middle School Ag students took learning beyond the classroom during their Land Judging field trip yesterday! 🌱 Students traveled throughout Huron County, evaluating soil at different locations and determining what the land would be best suited for-from crops to playgrounds. The day wrapped up at the Huron County Fairgrounds, where they learned more about planting, weed control, and other agricultural practices from Farm Bureau.

Parent Teacher Conferences are tonight (10/13) and Thursday (10/15) from 3:30 to 7:00PM in the High School Media Center for Middle School and High School courses. Elementary conferences are by appointment.

Friday will be a half-day. Students are dismissed at 11:40AM.

Our middle school volleyball teams each came away victorious in their final home games of the season last night!

Middle schoolers-don't miss out on one of the most popular social activities of the school year! Get your permission slips and $ turned in by Friday, October 23rd.
