Grade 12

Dear Seniors,
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. Throughout the 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 12 House Office webpage with announcements and resources. In addition, if you’re not already part of our Class of 2026 Google Classroom, please join as soon as possible using the code vrtair4. This will be another place to access information throughout the year.
