A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Welcome, Tiger Nation!
Whether you are returning to Hastings Senior High School or joining us for the first time, we are excited to welcome you to Tiger Nation. We look forward to a year of learning, growth, achievement, and building on the positive momentum we have created together.
Hastings High School has made tremendous progress in improving daily attendance and reducing chronic absenteeism. These accomplishments reflect the hard work and commitment of our students, staff, and families. We continue to build on that success.
The Hastings Public Schools Board of Education is currently considering updates to graduation credit requirements for future graduating classes. Students in the Class of 2027 will graduate under the current requirement of 225 credits. Additional information regarding any approved changes and implementation timelines will be shared with students and families once a final decision has been made.
At Hastings High School, student safety, success, and overall well-being remain our highest priorities. We are committed to creating a positive, inclusive environment where every student feels valued, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential.
This year, we encourage every Tiger to embrace a simple but powerful mindset:
Be Present. Find Your Passion. Be Teachable. Learn and Grow. Have Fun.
Our School Improvement Goals
Hastings High School is focused on preparing every student for college, career, and life. To achieve this, we are committed to:
-

We believe ALL MEANS ALL—and that every Tiger has the potential for greatness. Through a strong curriculum, meaningful interventions, and a whole-child approach, we’re here to help every student succeed.
Stay Connected
Communication is key to your experience at HHS. If you have questions or concerns, we’re here for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out to teachers, counselors, or administrators. We’re proud to partner with you.
