The mission of HCS is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and support to THRIVE in life. While we know this mission starts with a primary focus on academics, we also understand from listening to our community that a student must possess qualities beyond academics to excel in the real world. We strive to create graduates who embody our "Portrait of a Graduate" with skills rooted in academics, problem-solving, effective communication, cultural inclusivity, and resiliency.

Today, as we reflect on September 11, 2001, we remember not only the lives taken, but also the courage, compassion, and resilience that emerged in response to tragedy. We honor the firefighters, police officers, medical professionals, military service members, and civilians who risked or gave their lives to protect others. May their legacy remind us that even in tragedy, we are strongest when we stand together.
