Good News!
Congratulations to Hastings High swimmer Abbey Fish
Abbey broke the school record in the 500m Freestyle event during the Kearney invite. Her time of 5:21.04 broke the previous record of 5:23.55 set by Morgan Baker in 2017.
Congratulations to the Hastings High School Staff on the progress made with attendance.
Daily Average Attendance Rate: Hastings High’s daily attendance for the fall semester of 2024 stands at an impressive 89.65%. At this time last year, we
were at 85.86%, which means we’ve achieved a 3.79% increase!
Chronic Absenteeism: Our current chronic absenteeism percentage is 26.2%, down from 34.7% last year. That’s an 8.5% decrease!
These numbers reflect the impact of hard work the HHS teachers, staff, and administrators have invested over the past 2 1⁄2 years. Their commitment has driven successes, from implementing the new electronic devices policy and adding hall monitors to rolling out the E-Hall Pass system and new attendance policy this year.
