Update #54 from Dr. Derek Arrowood, Superintendent, Hamilton Heights School Corporation.
As we enter into spring break, please remain diligent in fighting the spread of COVID-19 not only in our schools, but also in our communities and wherever your travels may take you over the next two weeks. While this situation is not yet in our rearview mirror, we can begin to see some light at the end of the pandemic tunnel.
On Saturday, we hosted the long-awaited induction of the Class of 2020 to the Hamilton Heights Athletic Hall of Fame. This is the first class inducted and represents one team and four multi-sport athletes that span the course of eight decades. They include the 1932 Cicero Red Devils Boys Basketball Team, Kent Carson (‘68), Doug Mitchell (‘75), Dustin Sherer (‘05) and Sierra Brown (‘14). They competed and achieved at the highest levels in athletics, demonstrated Heights’ strong tradition of athletic excellence and excelled in life – thanks in part to their formative years at Hamilton Heights.
What I learned from these former student athletes about their secondary and post-secondary school journey made me even more proud to be a Husky. You can watch the induction ceremony for the Hamilton Heights Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2020 at this link.
Nominations for the Hamilton Heights Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2021 are being accepted through March 31, 2021. Click here to download the nomination form.
Also, for your viewing enjoyment, our newest HHSC Monthly Update was posted yesterday. Volume #65, filmed on March 16, will introduce you to our new climbing wall at the middle school, a historic moment in our middle school athletics, a fantastic high school student and bonus footage if you watch to the end.

Please enjoy a well-deserved break. Turn off your screens, take in plenty of fresh air and sunshine, and read a book or two. We all need a pause before returning on Monday, April 12 to begin the final push to the end of this school year. Have a safe, relaxing and restful break.
