Our Digital Art & Design II students were challenged to visually communicate a famous idiom using a graphic image—and the results are incredible! We had a blast trying to figure out what each piece represented in class, so we thought we'd bring the fun to you.
How well do you know your idioms? Swipe through the slides and take a guess!

The new 3D Art Class is off to a fantastic start! Students are putting their creativity and problem-solving skills to work, designing and building functional sculptures that also serve as habitats for small animals.
From researching local wildlife and sketching ideas to revising and building their final creations, our students are bringing Art to life in some very creative ways!
Keep an eye out around campus for these one-of-a-kind sculptures and the little creatures they may soon call home! 🌿🎨🐦🐝

Today, we recognize Lulia Daniel for something that goes far beyond simply being helpful.
Lulia took the initiative to help a teacher and a fellow student when they needed a hand. She didn’t do it for recognition or because she was asked. She simply saw an opportunity to make someone else’s day a little easier and stepped up.
That’s what character looks like - doing the right thing, helping others, and making a difference when no one is watching.
Lulia, thank you for being the kind of person who makes our Hive stronger. We are proud to call you a Hornet! 💛🐝

Today, we recognize Azaad Parks - one of the highest-character students ever to walk the halls of Hanover Park High School.
Azaad is the kind of student who leads without needing a title, treats people with respect, and consistently looks for ways to make those around him better. His leadership isn't about being the loudest person in the room, it's about his actions, his character, and the way he carries himself every single day.
He is someone his peers can count on, someone our staff can trust, and someone who represents what it truly means to be a Hornet.
Azaad reminds us that leadership is not just about what you accomplish; it's about who you are, how you treat others, and the impact you leave behind.
Thank you, Azaad, for setting the standard and making the Hive a better place simply by being yourself.
💛🖤 Congratulations, Azaad Parks, our Random Act of Kindness recipient!
We are Family. We are Hornets. 🐝

On Monday, September 14th, the HP Girls Soccer team traded their cleats for yoga mats for a special outdoor session right on the grass. A huge thank you to the incredible instructor from Three Birds Yoga for guiding us through an amazing afternoon of restorative stretching, calming music, and self-reflection.
Taking time to recharge the mind and body is just as important as the work we put in on the field. 🌿💪
