Greetings everyone!
Time flies, it has been three years since we obtained our full WASC accreditation. When preparing our mid-cycle report, we documented the school’s tremendous growth for the past three years. Huge THANK YOU to our dedicated team of teachers and staff, especially during these challenging times!

Students have obtained their first quarter report cards. We are very proud of what our students have accomplished this year. All of this has to do with their hard work and developing better study habits.
We have asked students to think about the following questions during the assembly:
We learned from Professor Carol Dweck, the author of Growth Mindset,
“When we face challenges, receive criticism, or fare poorly compared to others, we can become insecure or defensive, which inhibits growth.”
Growth mindset is about believing that intelligence and creativity, as well as things like love and friendship, can be grown and cultivated with practice and time, and change happens through hard work, good strategies, and input from others.
Students took 7 minutes to work on a reflection checklist for Quarter 1 to help them identify which good habits to continue, and what new habits they will start in Quarter 2.
There is a nice video on growth mindset vs fixed mindset. Please enjoy.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic last school year, HSArts students experienced no disruption in the quality of their learning. They received synchronous virtual and in-person instruction, including in their visual and performing arts courses. Students, parents, and staff worked harmoniously to ensure a safe learning environment.
This Fall, HSArts is back on-campus and in-person for the 2021-22 school year!
– School is fully open for in-person academics and arts instruction
– Apart from their regular classes, students are once again actively enjoying extracurricular activities, clubs, and sports
– Health and Safety Plan continuously updated according to DPH guidelines
Introducing:
– New Musical Theatre program

We look forward to another successful year despite the uncertainty around us. We are confident that with our dedicated teachers and staff, we would be able to nurture our students to success.
