This morning we planned a much-anticipated event that kids look forward to every year; handing out the 2021-2022 HHS Yearbook. As a parent, alumni and, most importantly, as the HHS Principal, I was greatly disappointed. The 2021-2022 High School Yearbook does not meet our tradition of excellence. A yearbook should give you the opportunity to look back and remember the best of times. It should celebrate all of our student organizations, their activities, and their successes. It should recall the people, the places and the events that made that year memorable. The 2021-2022 Yearbook does not. I trust that our students last year put in a tremendous amount of work gathering information, writing captions and articles and building pages. However, not all of their work made it to the printed product.
I am committed to making this right for the Class of 2022 and other HHS students. If you have paid for a 2021-2022 Yearbook, we will deliver a product worthy of your expectations as quickly as possible. We have spoken with the company that prints our yearbook to begin the process of printing a new, complete book. It will include all of our students, our student organizations, and the memories you have come to expect. In short, with a little patience and maybe even some of your help along the way, we will create a Henderson High School Yearbook for 2022 we can all be proud of.
