HHS Scholarship Program Kickoff - Class of 2021

 

Attention, seniors! The HHS Scholarship Program application is officially active. This year, we have made the previously cumbersome paper process entirely digital - all applications will be done via Google Classroom and will be due no later than 3 p.m. on Monday, April 5, 2021!

The process: 

1 - Watch this video FIRST! It includes VERY helpful information on how to navigate the entire process. 

2 - Accept the invitation to the HHS Scholarship Program's Google Classroom. If you are a member of the Class of 2021 and did not receive an invite, you can add yourself to the Classroom by using the code: goufk4s.

3 - Review and read ALL scholarship material in the classroom. 

4 - Decide which scholarships to apply to (not all students will be eligible for all scholarships). 

5 - Complete the HHS Universal Application and other requirements as outlined in the scholarship descriptions. 

6 - Watch your e-mail for a copy of your transcript. This will be e-mailed out by the end of the day on Monday, March 8th from Mrs. Ross. This transcript is required to be uploaded to the Google Classroom as part of the application. 

7 - Submit your application no later than 3 p.m. on Monday, April 5th - NO EXCEPTIONS. 

8 - If you have any questions, please refer to the FAQs section on the Google Classroom. If you need further assistance, please reach out to Mrs. Camiel at camielv@holliston.k12.ma.us. 

 Good luck!

HHS Art Program Featured in SchoolArts Magazine

The HHS Art Department was featured in an article "It Takes a Village" in the September 2019 issue of SchoolArts Magazine.

Authored by HHS department leader and art teacher Mr. Doug Lack, the article outlines last year's collaborative project to construct a model city made of recyclable materials, enlisting staff and students from all over the district. The article also highlights how the project was an exemplar of project-based learning.

2018 National Merit Semifinalists

Holliston High School has two senior students who are Semifinalists in the 2018 National Merit® Scholarship Program - an annual program in its 63rd year. 

Kelly Irons and Timothy Strang qualified for the prestigious honor by taking the PSAT/NMSQT in the fall of junior year and receiving eligible scores. 

Approximately 16,000 students in the United States move on to become Semifinalists which represents less than 1% graduating high school seniors. Tim and Kelly will now compete for the Merit Scholar® title and scholarship money from scholarship awarded through the National Merit Scholarship Program.
