OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
AP Class Contracts (3/7/25-3/13/25)
AP Contracts were distributed to students who requested AP Classes for next school year. They are due Friday, March 14th. If you did not receive a contract, please pick one up at the registrar's office immediately. If you do not turn in your AP Contract, the school will assume that you are no longer interested in taking the course and your course request for next year will be deleted.
Lunch Line Reminder (3/7/25-3/14/25)
No one likes long lines to pick up lunch. Speed up the process by having your school ID ready! As a reminder, it is school policy to have your ID on-person at all times, so, if you are one of those students who hold up the lunch line because you forgot it, you are part of the problem. Request a copy of your ID from the main office for free, or have it ready on the Hilo High App.
Student Association
Do YOU want to make a difference in our community? Have your voice heard in Hilo High and beyond? How about making new friends and gaining loads of new experiences? If so, student council is PERFECT for you! Both class council and student association, or school-wide council elections, are just around the corner, so if you're interested in running, pick up a packet anytime in room A-16 from March 10th to the 14th, and completed packets must be turned in to room A-16 by March 25th. So Vikings, why not run for student council and open up to a world of opportunities and impact our community? We hope to see you pick up a packet in A-16!
