Common Factors of SUCCESSFUL HHS Students Possess a high level of self-knowledge Engage in activities that reflect their interests and passions Take positive risks that expose them to personal growth opportunities – step out of one’s comfort zone Surround themselves with people that have similar interests and aptitudes Challenge themselves in and out of the classroom

Thoughts from HHS Graduates “Take challenging courses during high school.” “Don’t take high school for granted.” “If I could go back to high school I would take more AP classes and actually study.” “Learn to read your textbooks.” “Develop good study habits.” “One of the most difficult parts of college is time management.” “Don’t slack off. It may seem worth it but it will hurt you later.”
