It’s National School Counseling Week!

Did you know school counselors support students in three distinct areas? 📚 Academic 💼 Career ❤️ Social/Emotional

We are proud to support our students every single day.

Closing out a semester of our yoga elective and a marking period of yoga in PE with a little time for students to explore and play with sound equipment that is used sometimes during “savasana,” the final rest pose of our yoga practice.

Some of the frequencies created by the sound equipment can trigger the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest system), helping people to relax and reduce stress and anxiety.

It was great to see our students lead with curiosity and be gracious in making time for one another to try the equipment out!

Pictured we have: two crystal sound bowls, a Tibetan sound bowl, a seed shell shaker, an ocean drum, two steel tongue drums, and a chime.

On January 29, Hightstown High School hosted a Parent Tech Night where Mrs. Abdelaziz and members of the Spanish National Honor Society taught parents basic computer skills. Parents were enthusiastic about what they learned and expressed interest in continuing their learning.

While many of us were enjoying the snow, our Building & Grounds and Custodial teams were hard at work ❄️🚜 Thank you for your commitment to keeping our schools safe, accessible, and ready for learning. Your efforts do not go unnoticed!

The Hightstown High School DECA Club competed in the Central West Competition on January 8, alongside students from 21 high schools and nearly 2,400 participants. Our students represented Hightstown High School with incredible professionalism, dedication, and school pride.

We are excited to share that our students’ next challenge will be the DECA State Competition, taking place March 3–5 in Atlantic City. We wish them the very best as they continue to represent Hightstown High School at the state level.
