Thank you to all who contributed to HJSHS 911 Memorial Activities.  It is hard to believe it's been twelve years since the attack on the U.S.  I believe it is our responsibility to continue to take the time to educate our students and remind them of that difficult time in our nations history. 

Special thanks to Nancy Johnson and STUCO for the flag activity. The flag will be laminated and posted in the building. 

Thank you Tom Fischer and Joe Fletcher for posting the very moving 911 video and to all the teachers in the History department and school for conducting the 911 activities throughout the day.
