HPISD salutes retirees for their years of service

Highland Park ISD would like to thank its dedicated employees who are retiring this year. Without their years of service to the education and support of our children, HPISD would not be what it is today.

Masters, HPHS Binh Nguyen, Facility Services Deborah Pollock, HPMS Susan Rhoads, HPHS Ron Smith, Administration Terry White, HPMS

The Centennial memorabilia closet is filling up fast!

The fall of 2014 will mark the 100th anniversary for HPISD, and many community members are donating or lending cherished items from their school days to be used in displays and celebrations. Class of 1950 alum Pierce Allman loaned us his script of his senior class play, "The Man Who Came to Dinner." Thank you, Pierce! Because so many of our community members have donated or loaned us their wonderful items, our storage closet is quickly filling up. If you have a unique item that you would like considered for our display cases, please email a photo and description of the item(s) to hpcentennial@gmail.com. A member of the HPISD Centennial Committee will contact you shortly thereafter to let you know whether or not the item can be used.
