Principal's Message

Dear Students, Families, and Staff,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Hastings High School! As we embark on this journey together, I am filled with gratitude and anticipation for the opportunities that lie ahead to serve and support our wonderful community.

Our commitment to the betterment of our students and families is at the heart of everything we do. With a humble and servant-minded approach, we strive to create an environment where every individual feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

I am thrilled to share that this year brings exciting developments as we allocate bond monies towards much-needed improvements throughout our school. These enhancements not only enhance our physical facilities but also signify our dedication to providing excellent resources that empower our students and educators alike.

Central to our mission is the encouragement of our students to explore and realize their talents, skills, ambitions, and hopes. We are blessed with a remarkable senior group who exemplify natural leadership and a commitment to excellence. They lead with empathy, inspiring others to do their best in all they undertake. Our juniors and sophomores have certainly learned from them while contributing their own unique qualities to our student body.

We also welcome a highly successful and energetic freshman class! We are excited to help blend them into our accepting culture at HHS! Together with their enthusiasm and well-prepared backgrounds, we look forward to a smooth transition!

Our faculty is the cornerstone of our educational community—dedicated and passionate professionals who bring learning to life through innovative engagement activities that blend academic rigor with real-world relevance. Your tireless efforts and commitment to our students are deeply appreciated.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to our supportive community for your continued dedication and encouragement. Your involvement strengthens the fabric of our school and reinforces our collective mission to nurture and educate our students effectively.

As we navigate the challenges and triumphs of the new school year, please know that my door is always open. I am here to listen, collaborate, and support each of you in achieving our shared goals.

Let us embrace the spirit of our school motto, "It's a GREAT day to be a Saxon!", as a reminder of our optimism, unity, and commitment to excellence in all that we do.

Here's to a successful and fulfilling year ahead!

Warm regards,

Teresa Heide
