The 11th graders attended the College Fair at Luverne High School on Wednesday, September 30th. Students had the opportunity to interact with college admission representatives from more than 60 post-secondary options. The schools and programs represented a wide variety of career pathways, including cosmetology, culinary arts, two-year colleges, and four-year universities. This was a great opportunity for students to explore their options and learn more about programs that may align with their future goals.

On Wednesday, September 30, HBC’s 10th grade students participated in a 60-minute safe driving presentation led by a Minnesota State Patrol trooper and a Toward Zero Deaths representative. Through the Impact Teen Drivers program, students learned about avoiding reckless and distracted driving, managing speed, and making responsible choices as drivers and passengers. Thank you to Jessica Devens-Rodning, South Central Toward Zero Deaths Regional Coordinator, and State Patrol Trooper Joel for presenting this IMPORTANT information for our 10 grade students! Families, please talk with your teen about what they learned and help reinforce the message: safe choices behind the wheel can save lives.
