Viking Merch Store
Hey Vikings! The Viking Store is now open every day at lunch. Stop by to purchase some Hilo High merch at room B-35 while supplies last.
Student Forms
We have a super important reminder for everyone today regarding your student forms.
That’s right. Earlier, you should have received a gold folder in your advisory class packed with essential paperwork. Getting these forms signed and returned is critical—they cover student safety, technology access, and so much more.
If your forms are completed, please turn them in to your advisory teachers during recess or lunch. Turning them in during these times helps your teachers submit everything as promptly as possible.
Missing a page or need extra forms? No problem! Just let your advisory teacher know, or pop by the main office to grab a new set. Let's get all those forms turned in. Have a great day!
Math Team Info Meetings
Aloha Vikings, Do you like competition? Do you like math? Do you like crushing our cross town rivals and that school up the hill to Volcano? If yes, come by Mr. Youngʻs room, A-5, on Friday during lunch to hear about and join the math team! Again, A-5 on Friday at lunch for the mathletes who want to hear about the math team. Go Vikings!
