Grade 11

Dear Juniors,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I’m excited to kick off what promises to be a memorable final year for you at Hightstown High School. Hopefully, you all managed to view Mr. Vinson’s welcome letter recently which provided some holistic 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 kindly 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 11 House Office webpage with announcements and resources throughout the school year. Moreover, if you’re not already part of our Class of 2027 Google Classroom, please join as soon as possible using the code zxlznbn. This will be another key place to access information throughout the year.

Below is some information regarding student parking and upcoming junior events:

Junior Parking:

With our increased parking capacity, we’ll be offering a limited number of parking spots to this year’s junior class. As some of you know, parking has been a challenge in the past, so we’re thrilled to provide this opportunity. As stated at our last town hall meeting, please be patient to gain more information in the Fall on the lottery system and how to sign up for an opportunity to receive a spot.
