Administrators, as well as our school resource officer, will continue to monitor the situation
Thank you.

Friday, January 6, 2023 Teacher of the Game!
Hiawatha High School is proud to recognize two teachers tonight as our Red Hawk Teachers of the Game.
Mr. Josh May teaches vocal music at HHS. A student said, “He’s taken a lot of time out of his day to help us read music and bring confidence when we sing. He shows us that he loves what he does and that he wants the best from us. That makes me work harder than ever. He lets us talk about a lot of things. He’s a great teacher!”
Two students nominated Miss Libby Dunn. One student said, “I believe Ms. Dunn should be recognized. She is overall a very fun teacher. She is kind, caring, and funny. Ms. Dunn is a very comforting person and everyone enjoys being around her.” Another student said, “Ms. Dunn deserves to be recognized because she always has a positive attitude and is very helpful.”
Thank you to Mr. May & Miss Dunn for all they do at HHS!
