Dear Sophomores,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I’m excited to welcome you to your sophomore year, which promises to be an important and engaging year for you at Hightstown High School. Hopefully, you all managed to view Mr. Vinson’s welcome letter last week which provided some school-wide updates. In addition to that, throughout the school year I’ll be sharing important updates via email, so please check your school account regularly to stay informed.

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we ask that you complete all necessary forms in our grading platform, Genesis. This system is essential for accessing academic progress and scheduling information. I will also be updating the Grade 10 House Office webpage with announcements and resources throughout the school year.If you're not already part of our Class of 2028 Google Classroom, please join as soon as possible using the code 7xsku6c. This will be another key place to access information throughout the year.

Below is some information regarding important upcoming dates and events:
